It’s doing this by removing signs advertising certain video games — which begs the question: how exactly is this supposed to help?
The company documentation listing the changes was discovered by journalist Kenneth Shepard, who tweeted it out.
The rules include turning off any demos for violent games, remove any signage advertising shooters, and cancel any events that promote combat- or shooting-based games.
The company also asks that no videos depicting violence or hunting be shown in the electronics or sporting goods section.
Apparently Walmart is telling its employees to take down displays that show violent video games, specifically shooters, as well as movies and hunting videos.

Walmart stores this week began removing signs with "violent images" and turning off displays that demo violent video games.
The company said the move is due to recent mass shootings, including one at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas.
"We've taken this action out of respect for the incidents of the past week," Walmart spokesperson Tara House said Friday.
"This action does not reflect a long-term change in our video game assortment."
A mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso on Saturday morning left 22 people dead.
Early Sunday, nine people died in a mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio.
Experience the frustration, excitment and challenges of hunting this small gamebird.
Shooting steadily– Any video will look a lot more professional and well-crafted if it is simply shot with a steady hand, and without too much disruption.
Unless the specific shots need some shaky movement, it is a good idea to invest a little bit in stabilizing the video quality.
While all of this can be handled at the post-production stages and done through editing, it is always a good idea to have them managed from the very beginning, which is the shooting stages.
Just switching up the perspective, or changing the angles often can help to keep viewers engaged and increase their attention to the video.
And don’t forget that it will involve huge amounts of editing when you finally put it together!
Focus on lighting– Lighting can often turn into an integral part of the way that your entire video pans out and the elements which gain the most attention.
