Exhibit 10.1

TRANSITION AND SEPARATION AGREEMENT

Employee: Frank M. Hamlin (“Employee,” “you” or “your”)

Employer: GameStop Corp. (“GameStop” “us” or “we”)

Effective Date: March 19, 2021

Separation Date: March 31, 2021

Employee and GameStop have voluntarily agreed to enter into this Agreement, which sets forth the complete understanding between them regarding the cessation of Employee’s service as Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer of GameStop, Employee’s provision of transition services until his Separation Date, and the commitments and obligations arising out of the termination of the employment relationship between Employee and GameStop.

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are acknowledged, Employee and GameStop agree to this Transition and Separation Agreement (the “Agreement”) as follows:

1. GameStop agrees to continue to employ you, and you agree to remain in employment with GameStop, from the Effective Date until the Separation Date (or such earlier time contemplated by Section 6 or 8 below) (the “Term”).

2. During the Term, we may remove you from the role of Executive Vice President and Chief Customer Officer at any time. In that case, your title will become Senior Advisor and you will perform such executive level duties consistent with your experience, and subject to compliance with applicable law and your fiduciary duties, as we may reasonably request of you. In either case, through the Separation Date, you agree to devote your reasonable best efforts and devote your full business time (or remain available to devote your full business time) to the performance of duties for GameStop, and to support an orderly transition of your duties to other GameStop employees, consistent with your experience, and subject to compliance with applicable law and your fiduciary duties.

3. During the Term, you will continue to receive your current Base Salary before all customary payroll deductions, and you will be entitled to continue to participate, subject to and in accordance with applicable eligibility requirements, in employee benefit plans of GameStop applicable to GameStop’s employees generally or to its executive officers, subject to and on a basis consistent with the terms, conditions and overall administration of such plans, programs and arrangements. You will not be eligible for an annual bonus with respect to GameStop’s 2021 fiscal year or any additional equity awards.

4. On the Separation Date, your service to GameStop will terminate and you will be deemed to have resigned from employment with GameStop with “Good Reason,” as that term is defined in Section 7(e) of the Executive Employment Agreement between you and GameStop dated May 30, 2019 (the “Employment Agreement”). Your resignation will be effective with respect to all positions you hold with GameStop and all its affiliated entities.

5. Following the Separation Date and unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, you will receive the payments, rights and benefits set forth in Section 8(c) of the Employment Agreement on account of your resignation with Good Reason (collectively, the “Separation Benefits”); provided that the Separation Benefits are subject to your compliance with all the terms of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the release requirements described in Section 7 below) and are in lieu of, not in addition to, severance benefits under any other GameStop arrangement. The lump-sum cash severance payment provided for in Section 8(c)(i) of the Employment Agreement, and the payment in respect of your accrued but unused vacation as of the Separation Date as provided for in Section 8(c)(iii) of the Employment Agreement, will be paid on the first regularly scheduled salaried employee payroll date that occurs at least four business days following the effectiveness of the release described in Section 7. The full cost of your COBRA coverage provided for in Section 8(c)(ii) for you and your eligible dependents shall be paid by the Company on a monthly basis for the lesser of 18 months or until you become eligible for coverage under another employer’s medical plan. Your GameStop equity awards will be treated as set forth on the attached Exhibit A.

6. During the Term, your employment may be terminated by GameStop for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) (including, for avoidance of doubt, material breach of this Agreement), provided that the 30 day notice and cure opportunity set forth in Section 7(c)(B) of the Employment Agreement will be reduced to seven calendar days or such shorter period as the Board determines in its good faith discretion is necessary to avoid substantial injury to GameStop (for example, in order to facilitate the timely filing of financial statements or other required SEC disclosures). In the event of a valid termination of your employment for Cause, your sole entitlement will be the payment of your base salary and any valid claims under the Company’s group health plan through your date of termination. Similarly, if you resign from employment with GameStop for any reason prior to the Separation Date, such resignation will be deemed a resignation without Good Reason for all purposes and your sole entitlement will then be the payment of your base salary and any valid claims under the Company’s group health plan through your date of termination.

7. The Separation Benefits are expressly conditioned on (a) your execution following the Separation Date and delivery to GameStop within 21 days following the Separation Date of the release attached hereto as Exhibit B, which forms a part hereof (the “Release”) and (b) the Release not being revoked within 7 calendar days following its execution and delivery; provided, however, that if you should predecease the Separation Date and have complied with all the terms of this Agreement through the date of your death, your estate shall be entitled to the Separation Benefits (in lieu of any other payment or benefits) upon execution of a release similar in scope and in a form reasonably prescribed by GameStop.

8. During the Term, your employment may be terminated by GameStop due to your Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement). In that case, if you have complied with the terms of this Agreement in all material respects through the date of such termination, you will be entitled to the benefits described in Section 8(e) of the Employment Agreement (in lieu of any other payments or benefits), subject to (a) your execution and delivery to GameStop of the Release (subject to such modifications as GameStop reasonably determines are necessary to reflect your termination for Disability, rather than with Good Reason) within 21 days following such termination, and (b) the Release not being revoked within 7 days following its execution.

-2-

9. Section 8(f) of your Employment Agreement (regarding parachute payments) will continue to apply.

10. You agree that in executing this Agreement you do not rely and have not relied on any document, representation, or statement, whether written or oral, other than those specifically set forth in this Agreement.

11. You acknowledge and hereby re-affirm your obligations set forth in the covenants contained in Sections 11, 12 and 13 of the Employment Agreement.

12. Nothing in this Agreement or in the referenced attachments shall be construed to limit any disclosure to any governmental officials or agencies, including, but not limited to, the EEOC, the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Congress and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. GameStop will provide you with an advance copy of all public disclosures regarding your departure from GameStop for comment, which the Company shall consider in its reasonable discretion.

13. The parties agree that this Agreement, the exhibits that form a part of this Agreement and the provisions of the Employment Agreement specifically referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between Employee and GameStop and supersede any other prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, pertaining to the subject matter of this Agreement. In any instance in which the terms of this Agreement and the Employment Agreement are different or inconsistent, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated orally, but may be changed only through written addendum executed by both parties.

14. No waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by all parties to this Agreement. The waiver by any party hereto of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by any party, nor shall any waiver operate or be construed as a rescission of this Agreement.

15. This Agreement, the offer of this Agreement, and compliance with this Agreement shall not constitute or be construed as an admission by any party of any wrongdoing or liability, and any wrongdoing or liability is expressly denied.

16. You are hereby advised in writing to consult with legal counsel of your choice, and you acknowledge and agree that you have been given ample opportunity to exercise your right to consult legal counsel. Subject to your timely execution and non-revocation of the Release, GameStop shall directly pay your legal fees and costs incurred in the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Release, up to a maximum of $5,000.

17. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. Any disputes or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively pursuant to the GameStop CARES Rules of Dispute Resolution Including Arbitration. As provided in the GameStop CARES Rules of Dispute Resolution Including Arbitration, either party may seek temporary or immediate injunctive relief in aid of arbitration, to maintain the status quo pending

-3-

arbitration, or to prevent violation of your commitments concerning non-competition, non-solicitation, or the use or disclosure of trade secrets or confidential information. You hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Texas State or United States Federal Court sitting in Tarrant County, Texas with respect to such proceedings in aid of arbitration or to enforce any award, judgment, or order of the arbitrator with respect to any controversy arising out of this Agreement. You hereby waive any right to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding related in any way to this Agreement.

18. All executed copies of this Agreement and photocopies thereof shall have the same force and effect and shall be as legally binding and enforceable as the original. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

19. This Agreement is assignable by GameStop to its successors in interest.

Exhibit A

Treatment of Equity Awards

Subject to his compliance with all the terms of the Agreement (including, without limitation, the release requirements described in Section 7 thereof), Employee’s GameStop equity awards will be treated as follows:

1. The time-vested shares listed below will vest and, subject to Sections 4 and 5 below, be released from transfer restrictions within three business days after the Release becomes irrevocable.

2. The performance-vested shares listed below will vest, subject to the Release becoming irrevocable, if and to the extent earned based on actual performance through the end of the applicable performance period. Subject to Sections 4 and 5 below, any earned shares will be released from transfer restrictions within three business days after the later of the Release becoming irrevocable and the Compensation Committee’s certification that the applicable performance goals were achieved. To the extent these shares are not earned based on actual performance through the end of the applicable performance period, they will be automatically forfeited upon the Compensation Committee’s certification of the applicable performance outcomes.

3. Employee acknowledges that (a) all of his outstanding GameStop equity awards are listed above, (b) the treatment of those awards under Section 8(c) of the Employment Agreement is as described above, and (c) except as indicated above, he has no rights in respect of any GameStop equity awards.

4. Employee acknowledges that the vesting of shares described in this exhibit will give rise to taxable income subject to required withholding, and that no shares will be released to him until he has made arrangements reasonably acceptable to GameStop to satisfy such required withholding. Employee further agrees that, unless GameStop elects to settle such required withholding through the withholding of shares, Employee hereby irrevocably instructs and authorizes GameStop to (a) sell on his behalf such number of shares as GameStop determines to

A-1

be appropriate to generate cash proceeds sufficient to satisfy the required withholding, and (b) to remit proceeds equal to the required withholding to the applicable tax authorities (or to retain proceeds equal to the required withholding, to the extent that GameStop has already deposited such amount with the applicable tax authorities). To the extent the proceeds of such sale exceed the required withholding, the excess proceeds will be paid to Employee. Employee acknowledges that he will be responsible for all broker’s fees and other costs of such sale. Employee further agrees to execute such additional documents as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate such transactions.

5. Employee further agrees that the vesting of shares described herein is conditioned on his compliance with Sections 11, 12 and 13 of the Employment Agreement through (a) the date the Release becomes irrevocable (in the case of shares vesting under Section 1 above), and (b) the later of the date the Release becomes irrevocable and the date the Compensation Committee determines the applicable performance conditions are satisfied (in the case of shares vesting under Section 2 above, if any).

Exhibit B

Release

This Release is made by Frank M. Hamlin (the “Employee”) and GameStop Corp. (“GameStop”) on this [•] day of [•], 2021.

WHEREAS, Employee’s employment as an executive of GameStop has terminated; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Transition and Separation Agreement by and between GameStop and Employee, dated March 19, 2021 (the “Agreement”), GameStop has agreed to pay Employee certain amounts and to provide him with certain rights and benefits, subject to the execution of this Release. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings defined in the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and intending to be legally bound hereby:

1. Employee acknowledges that the Separation Benefits, as described in Section 5 of the Agreement, will constitute full settlement of all his rights under the Agreement and the Employment Agreement. Employee further acknowledges that, in the absence of his execution of this Release, those benefits, rights and payments would not otherwise be due to him.

2. Employee, for himself and his heirs, legal representatives, and assigns, releases and forever discharges GameStop and its related entities, parent companies, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and each of their respective current and former officers, directors, stockholders, agents, representatives, insurers, plan administrators, employees, predecessors, successors, and assigns, in their individual, corporate, or official capacities (collectively, the “Released Parties”) of and from all claims, demands, actions, obligations, and causes of action of any kind or nature at law or in equity, known or unknown, that arose, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the execution of this Release by Employee.

3. Employee understands and accepts that the general release contained herein specifically covers, without limitation, any and all claims, causes of action, or demands that Employee has or may have against the Released Parties relating in any way to the terms, conditions, and circumstances of his employment or the termination of his employment with any of the Released Parties, whether based on contract, tort, or statute, including without limitation claims arising under any federal, state, or local statute and/or ordinance, or common or civil law claims, including without limitation:

(a) any and all claims relating to discrimination, equal pay, retaliation, or other claims such as claims or causes of action under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 1871, and 1991, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Equal Pay Act, the False Claims Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, all as amended, or any other applicable state or local statute or regulation pursuant to which he may have rights in connection with employment and/or separation of employment from GameStop;

B-1

(b) any and all claims or causes of action arising under or relating to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”);

(c) any and all claims arising under the common or civil law, including without limitation those claims for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, promissory estoppel, fraud, misrepresentation, breach of any implied covenants, assault, battery, negligence, defamation, invasion of privacy, slander, or infliction of emotional distress; and

(d) any and all claims for attorney’s fees, costs, or expenses.

4. Employee agrees that he has suffered no workplace injury for which he has failed to report. Employee further acknowledges, represents and warrants that he has not filed and/or caused to be filed, and is not aware of, any pending lawsuit, claim or complaint brought on his behalf or asserting claims involving Employee or in which he has an interest against GameStop, or any affiliated company, subsidiary or business unit in any state or federal court, or with any administrative agency or tribunal.

5. Employee acknowledges and agrees that (a) other than the Separation Benefits, as described in Section 5 of the Agreement, Employee has no entitlement under any other severance or similar arrangement maintained by GameStop, and (b) except as otherwise provided specifically in this Release, the Released Parties do not and will not have any other liability or obligation to Employee.

6. Employee understands that the general release of claims set forth herein covers claims that Employee knows about and those that he may not know about.

7. This general release does not prevent Employee from filing an administrative charge or complaint, or otherwise communicating with or participating in an investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”), the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, any agency Inspector General, or any other federal, state, or local agency governing employee rights. Nothing in this Release shall be construed to limit any disclosure to any such governmental officials or agencies or making disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. However, by signing this Release, Employee waives his right to recover any damages or other relief in any claim or suit brought by him, or by or through the EEOC, or other federal, state, or local agency on his behalf, or as a representative of others, against any of the Released Parties under any federal, state, or local law, except where prohibited by law. Employee agrees to release and discharge the Released Parties not only from any and all claims that Employee could make on his own behalf, but Employee also specifically waives any right to become, and Employee promises not to become, a member of any class in any proceeding or case in which a claim or claims against the Released Parties may arise, in whole or

B-2

in part, from any event that occurred prior to the date of this Release. If Employee is not permitted to opt-out of a future class, then Employee agrees to waive any recovery for which Employee would be eligible as a member of such class. Nothing in this Release is intended to limit or interfere with Employee’s rights under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act.

8. This general release also does not apply to any claim: (a) that cannot be waived by law; (b) arising out of conduct occurring after the date this Release is signed; (c) to enforce the terms of the Agreement, and this Release; (d) to challenge the validity of this Release and the knowing and voluntary nature of Employee’s release under the ADEA and/or the Older Workers’ Benefit Protection Act, or (e) for indemnification under the By-Laws of GameStop or applicable law for Employee’s acts or omissions as an officer of GameStop, or for the benefit of any applicable directors and officers insurance policies.

9. The federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 provides immunity in certain circumstances to GameStop employees, contractors, and consultants for limited disclosures of GameStop trade secrets. Specifically, GameStop employees, contractors, and consultants may disclose trade secrets: (a) in confidence, either directly or indirectly, to a Federal, State, or local government official, or to an attorney, “solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law,” or (b) “in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.” Additionally, GameStop employees, contractors, and consultants who file retaliation lawsuits for reporting a suspected violation of law may also use and disclose related Trade Secrets in the following manner: (1) the individual may disclose the trade secret to his/her attorney, and (2) the individual may use the information in related court proceeding, as long as the individual files documents containing the trade secret under seal, and does not otherwise disclose the trade secret “except pursuant to court order.”

10. The parties understand and agree that this general release will be legally binding on them, as well as on their estate, heirs, personal representatives, and/or assigns.

11. Employee acknowledges that covenants contained in Section 11, 12 and 13 of the Employment Agreement, will survive the termination of his employment. Employee affirms that those covenants are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of GameStop, that he received adequate consideration in exchange for agreeing to those provisions and that he will abide by those provisions.

12. Employee agrees not to disparage any Released Person or otherwise take any action which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the personal or professional reputation of any Released Person. GameStop agrees to instruct its directors, executive officers and authorized spokespersons not to disparage Employee or otherwise take any action that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect his personal or professional reputation. This paragraph will not prohibit any party from making any disclosure required by law or providing truthful testimony in response to a subpoena or in defense of any claim.

13. Employee agrees that he will cooperate in a reasonable manner with GameStop and its counsel with respect to any matter (including litigation, investigations, or governmental proceedings) in which Employee was in any way involved during his employment with GameStop. Employee agrees to render such cooperation in a timely manner on reasonable notice

B-3

from GameStop. GameStop agrees to exercise reasonable efforts to limit and schedule the need for Employee’s cooperation so as not to materially interfere with his other professional obligations. GameStop will compensate Employee at a rate of $300 per hour for time spent and reimburse Employee for reasonable expenses incurred in rendering such cooperation.

14. Employee expressly acknowledges and recites that: (a) he has read and understands the terms of this Release in its entirety; (b) he has entered into this Release knowingly and voluntarily, without any duress or coercion; (c) he has been advised orally and is hereby advised in writing to consult with an attorney with respect to this Release before signing it; (d) he was provided 21 calendar days after receipt of the Release to consider its terms before signing it, which 21 day period may be waived; (e) he is provided an unwaivable seven calendar days from the date of signing this Release to terminate and revoke this Release; and (f) in the case of a written revocation during those seven days, this Release shall be unenforceable, null and void. Employee may revoke this Release during those seven days by providing written notice of revocation to GameStop at the following address:

GameStop Corp.

ATTN: General Counsel

625 Westport Parkway

Grapevine, TX 76051

If Employee revokes this Release, he will forfeit the Separation Benefits, as described in Section 5 of the Agreement, and will not be entitled to any other severance benefits.

15. This Release shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. Any disputes or claims arising out of or relating to this Release shall be resolved exclusively pursuant to the GameStop CARES Rules of Dispute Resolution Including Arbitration. As provided in the GameStop CARES Rules of Dispute Resolution Including Arbitration, either party may seek temporary or immediate injunctive relief in aid of arbitration, to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, or to prevent violation of the provisions of this Release concerning non-competition, non-solicitation, or the use or disclosure of trade secrets or confidential information. Employee hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Texas State or United States Federal Court sitting in Tarrant County, Texas with respect to such proceedings in aid of arbitration or to enforce any award, judgment, or order of the arbitrator with respect to any controversy arising out of this Release. Employee hereby waives any right to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding related in any way to this Release. The breach of any promise in this Release by any party shall not invalidate this Release and shall not be a defense to the enforcement of this Release against any party.
