GameFly is a disc-based rental service for console games and movies. Members choose titles online and receive them by mail, with USPS shipping free in both directions in reusable mailers. Rentals can be kept without late fees. Most rented games and movies can be bought at a discounted KEEP price; game purchases include the original case and codes. The catalog covers Sony PlayStation, Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and older-platform titles. Movies are available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD; game plans include movies, and movie-only plans are also offered. The 1-Game Plan costs $19.95 a month after a free 30-day trial, plus applicable sales tax, for one game at a time and games and movies. Standard and Elite plans offer GameLock reservations for upcoming releases, with launch-day shipment; their reservation windows open 30 and 7 days ahead, respectively. GameFly estimates USPS delivery at 2–8 business days within the United States, with possible delays. It supports web, iOS, and Android.
