It is because GME announced adding Ryan Cohen (founder of CHWY) and two former colleagues to their board. Ryan is one of the largest shareholders and has been a huge activist to change their business plan to more digital sales. This caused the shares to rise which then caused a short squeeze as GME is one of the highest shorted stocks so shorts had to cover causing the price action you see today
