The Game Group has today gone into administration and fears are mounting over the future of it's High Street stores.
There are three stores owned by the group in Swindon.
Accountant PwC has been appointed administrator to the UK operations of Game Group, which has 609 stores under the names Game and Gamestation.
The chain, which employs 385 staff at its headquarters in Basingstoke, Hampshire, and around 5,100 in its stores, has suffered dire trading in recent months, while some suppliers refused to stock the retailer as its worsening finances came under increased scrutiny.
PwC said it was hopeful that Game could be sold.
