GameStop $4.5M Pixel Privacy Class Action Settlement: Claim Cash or Voucher


GameStop $4.5 Million Privacy Settlement
Defendant: GameStop Inc.

If you bought a video game from GameStop’s website while logged into a public Facebook profile using your real name, you may be eligible for a payout of up to $5 in cash or a $10 GameStop voucher as part of a $4.5 million class action settlement.

Why Is There a Settlement?

GameStop agreed to settle claims it violated the Video Privacy Protection Act (VPPA) by allegedly sharing customers’ personally identifiable information with Facebook through the Meta Pixel without proper consent. The company denies wrongdoing but agreed to resolve the case to avoid continued litigation.

Who Is Eligible?

You may qualify if all of the following apply:

  • You purchased a video game through GameStop.com between August 18, 2020, and April 17, 2025
  • You were a Facebook user at the time of purchase
  • Your Facebook profile was public and used your real name

Note: Even if you made multiple qualifying purchases, you are only eligible to submit one claim.

What Can You Receive?

Eligible class members can choose one of the following:

  • Cash Payment: Up to $5, paid via Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo
  • GameStop Voucher: Up to $10, credited to your GameStop account (or a new one you create). Vouchers expire one year after issuance.

Final payout amounts depend on how many valid claims are submitted and deductions for administrative and legal fees.

How to File a Claim

Submit your claim by August 15, 2025, through the official settlement website.
You’ll need to:

  • Provide your Facebook profile URL or upload a screenshot of your profile
  • Enter your Unique ID from the email notice (if filing online)
