To GameStop, discs dying \u201cdoesn\u2019t matter,\u201d says CEO.<\/p>\n

Software makes up \u201cless than 12 percent of the business,\u201d while collectibles are \u201cover half,\u201d Ryan Cohen said in a Bloomberg interview<\/a>. \u201cSo it\u2019s totally, totally irrelevant.\u201d<\/p>\n

The numbers differ a bit in GameStop\u2019s latest quarterly report<\/a>, where collectibles were 41.8 percent of sales in Q1 2026. But they\u2019re a growing part of GameStop\u2019s business \u2014 the Q1 collectibles figure was a jump from 28.9 percent in Q1 2025 \u2014 which could soften the blow from the dire future for discs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
