used games

Used games are video games sold secondhand after their original purchase.

The term emerged with physical media—cartridges and discs resold at game stores or online.

Used games typically cost less than new copies, though retailers like GameStop built business models around buying low and selling at modest discounts.

The practice became contentious when publishers argued it cut into revenue, leading some to implement online passes or other restrictions.
