Redbox is killing its game rentals, by which I mean Redbox has already killed off game rentals.
The sad news came this week as customers began to notice that Redbox kiosks were no longer allowing people to rent video games from the service. Users began asking questions to Redbox customer support, who acknowledged that due to “changes in the industry,” the company would no longer be renting out video games. The move has already gone into effect.
Redbox’s plan is to sell off its remaining stock, which means you can get some relatively new games at a discount. Titles like Death Stranding are being sold for $40 with Fallen Order and Modern Warfare running roughly $45.
After considering various factors like changes in the industry, we’ve decided to shift more focus into physical media with movies, streaming On Demand & new exclusive content moving forward.

For those who still wish to rent physical games, your only options are to go with a subscription service ala Gamefly or a local video rental store/library that has video games available.
