DXB opens 24/7 Game Space lounge
Dubai International (DXB) is now home to the region’s first airport gaming lounge concept with the opening of Game Space on November 21. The unique space is set to further enhance travelers’ experience at the world’s busiest international airport.
Offering a novel alternative to the normal pre-flight routine of travelers, 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 travelers the opportunity to get together, relax and play.
The space features 40 game stations, each of which boasts 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 the 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 travelers at the world’s leading hub.
“We know that gaming is incredibly popular in the region and Game Space will allow travelers to change their waiting time at the airport into their gaming time,” says Errol McGlothan, Co-director at Game Space.
“Working with strategic gaming partners like ASUS, we believe that we have a unique collaboration to push the boundaries of what the lounge experience can be.
‘‘We are delighted to provide unique and fun moments for beginners to experienced gamers transiting from Dubai,’’ adds Frédéric Briest, Co-director at Game Space.
Of the partnership with Game Space, Eugene Barry, Executive Vice President of Commercial at Dubai Airports commented that the lounge "adds an exciting new element to our existing range of retail, food and hospitality partnerships across the airport."
