Gamestation was a chain of UK retail shops selling used and new video games and was the second-largest specialist video game retailer in the UK until it was acquired by Game in 2007, a group which owns many different gaming stores throughout the UK and Europe. In March 2012 the Game Group went into administration and a number of Gamestation stores including the company's flagship store in Birmingham New Street were closed. Game and Gamestation were purchased from the administrators by OpCapita.
