Users would also have the option of digitally downloading the games, a service which will be commenced soon. Games The Shop online store also offers several deals and bundles on the game titles along with a separate section for 'Deals of the week'.
The website is currently selling popular game titles like Grand Theft Auto V, FIFA 2014 World Cup, Thief, Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell and more, while also featuring such anticipated games as Assassin's Creed: Unity, Batman: Arkham Knight and Watch Dogs for pre-order.
