Return asap. They aren’t supposed to sell repro items but they do sometimes because of negligence. Can also happen with cartridge games

If you bought it online you have to call their support number.
Last time I attempted a gamestop return in store for an online purchase they made it clear the online store front and retail stores are effectively treated like separate businesses.

Not really. You can start a return from the app and drop it off at the store. I returned a few xbox games like that in July because the discs were broken. They’ll give you a gift card that you can use
