They dont do late night launches on every game so if they don't then you can pick it up the morning the day of release once the store opens. Best bet is to call the store and ask when the game will be available. Holds are only guaranteed for 48 hours. After that, it becomes available to any customer that requests it.
How does pre-order work on GameStop?
Online pre-orders can be done through the GameStop website or mobile app and come with either free shipping or a $10 launch day shipping upgrade. The process for pre-ordering a game at an open GameStop is similar to picking up a game with the Delivery@Door service.
Can someone else pickup my GameStop order?
Yes you can. You have to go to your local GS and put that persons name on your account. I've had my brothers name put on my account in case I am unable to pick up my games I preorder. I mean, I can go into GameStop and pick up your preorders if that were the case.9 Sept 2013
