Can I return a game to GameStop if I opened it?

No, you generally cannot get a cash refund for a new game once it's opened at GameStop, but you can usually exchange it for the exact same title if it's defective or if the store makes an exception, as opened new games are typically only eligible for exchange, not returns for money back. Policies can be strict, but sometimes a manager might offer store credit or treat it as a used game return (with less value) if you're a regular or the item wasn't properly sealed, so bringing it in with the receipt is your best bet to find out.
