Short Guide on How I Completed my GameStop Wallet Migration
In case anyone reads this in the future, I have completed moving my GameStop Wallet crypto / NFTs to another wallet. Below is a top level guide on how I was able to achieve it before GameStop sunset their wallet.
- I moved IMX content (Illuvitars & D1SKs) to the email version of the IMX wallet {whos private key can be opened on metamask}. All you have to do is sign up via email / magic wallet on the Immutable Marketplace. Make sure you register it to an email you won't lose access to as well as back up and passphrases and private keys after you make it.
-
I moved standard, L1 NFTs and my remaining crypto to my MetaMask and Loopring Wallets (you might as well secure your Loopring Wallet ENS during this process while you're at it). This applies to all L1 NFTs as well as L1, ETH network cryptos.
-
For any L2 currency like IMX tokens, I had to move them back to L1 as ETH before I could withdraw them to another wallet. You only have to do this if the wallet you're moving to does not support IMX tokens. Here is a full guide that Immutable provides on how to do just that.
-
You should still back up your GameStop Wallet Private Key and Passphrase somewhere safe.
Remember, you have until **October 1st**
to access your Passphrase and Private Key. The app will be removed from the market on November 1st. Here is the posted alert message in case anyone has not read it on wallet.gamestop.com:
"Due to the regulatory uncertainty of the crypto space, GameStop has decided to remove its iOS and Chrome Extension wallets from the market on November 1, 2023.
We advise that all customers ensure that they have access to their Secret Passphrase by October 1, 2023. Any customer with access to their Secret Passphrase has the ability to recover their account in any compatible wallet."
