DXB opens 24/7 gaming lounge Game Space

Offering a novel alternative to the normal pre-flight routine of travellers, Game Space is located in the heart of DXB Family Zone at B Gates in Terminal 3. A focal point for game-loving passengers of all ages, from families looking to try gaming for the first time to seasoned gamers, this vibrant hub offers travellers the opportunity to get together, relax and indulge their passion for play.

The space features 40 game stations, each of which boast 50” screens and side-by-side seating for either solo or multi-player gaming. Offering both PCs and consoles, the array of gaming options provides something for all guests. Key hardware for 20 of the 40 gaming stations will be provided by Republic of Gamers (ROG), an ASUS sub-brand dedicated to creating the world’s best gaming hardware and software. Each ROG gaming station will have a PC featuring a motherboard by ROG, the award-winning motherboard brand, plus a ROG 2K 240 Hz monitor, a high-resolution ROG headset, an RGB mechanical ROG keyboard, a high-precision ROG mouse, and an ergonomic ROG gaming chair for ultimate comfort.

With 20 leading game titles available to play at the lounge, including Fortnite, League of Legends, Gran Turismo 7, Crash Bandicoot and more, there are options to suit every taste and preference. Passengers traveling to the region for football action will have plenty of opportunities to continue their footie fix with top soccer games on hand to keep them immersed in the "glorious game."

Game Space will be open 24/7, so the fun will be non-stop. Food and drink options are also available, making it the perfect place to unwind.

“We are excited to work with Dubai Airports to deliver an innovative new gaming experience for travellers at the world’s leading hub.

“We know that gaming is incredibly popular in the region and Game Space will allow travellers to change their waiting time at the airport into their gaming time,” says Errol McGlothan, Co-director at Game Space.
