U.S.Games

What U.S.Games does

U.S. Games Distribution, Inc. is a privately held B2B wholesale distributor of video game products headquartered in North Hills, California. Founded in 1998, the company has operated continuously for over 26 years, distributing current- and prior-generation gaming consoles (PlayStation 5, PlayStation 5 Pro, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch family, Nintendo Switch 2, plus legacy systems back through the Super Nintendo era), gaming accessories (controllers, headsets, charging stations, VR headsets, racing wheels, arcade sticks), physical and digital video game titles, and a prepaid gift card line spanning more than 400 brands. The company functions as an authorized distributor for major OEMs Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, and positions itself as the official distributor of many video game gift card brands in the market.

The business model is quote-based B2B wholesale: U.S. Games purchases inventory at authorized-distributor terms and resells to brick-and-mortar retailers, online resellers, exporters, and businesses in the rewards and incentives space. The company operates from a single California warehouse and ships domestically and to international buyers through its exporter channel. The gift card division, launched in 2010, has grown into a full product line serving the corporate rewards, customer loyalty, and incentive markets alongside traditional retail accounts. Marketing is conducted through the company website, email newsletters via Constant Contact, and organic social media presence on X, Facebook, and LinkedIn.

The company's go-to-market is entirely channel-based with no direct-to-consumer offering. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, no funding rounds, acquisitions, or leadership changes are documented, and ownership appears to remain closely held. The core operating assets are authorized distribution agreements with console OEMs and gift card brands, and the company's principal value proposition is legitimate supply, breadth of catalog, and reliable delivery to retail and reseller accounts.
