GameStop is ending support for its crypto wallet.

It’s removing the GameStop Wallet from the App Store and Chrome Web Store on November 1st, according to a notice posted on its NFT website. GameStop is blaming the “regulatory uncertainty of the crypto space.”

When the company laid off staff in December, Axios reported that the crypto wallet team was “heavily impacted.”

A GameStop notice that reads: “Due to the regulatory uncertainty of the crypto space, GameStop has decided to remove its iOS and Chrome Extension wallets from the market on November 1, 2023. We advise that all customers ensure that they have access to their Secret Passphrase by October 1, 2023. Any customer with access to their Secret Passphrase has the ability to recover their account in any compatible wallet. Information on how to obtain your Secret Passphrase can be found on our help site.”
Here’s where that “help site” link goes, if you’re curious.
