OpCapita, the company who acquired Comet last year for £2, is said to have the money in place to repay GAME Group's debts and a management group in place to restructure the business.
However, both GAME and OpCapita are becoming frustrated at RBS's "unwillingness" to enter "meaningful negotiations", reports MCV.
"Administration would be a very bad outcome for everyone involved. The clock is ticking before rent day this weekend," an inside source told the website.
Despite rumours to the contrary, the source also suggests that GAME would remain a video game-only retailer and not integrated into existing Comet stores.
"We are not asset strippers, we've never stripped anything. We're about investing and improving. It's a point of difference and we're proud of it. We focus on running businesses. That's what we're about."
GAME recently announced 35 store closures and that it is going to shut sister website gameplay.co.uk.
GAME recently received lender support to alleviate financial troubles following apparent concern by publisher EA.
The high street retailer's shares plummeted by 90% in 2011, despite £1 billion in annual turnover.
