About Us.
GAMEGRID LTD was born following a collaboration between XP-VR Virtual Reality Experience and RaceGrid VR Racing Simulators. Opened in October 2022, players can enjoy all of our epic VR experiences, along with some brand new gaming experiences – all under one roof! Find out more about our experiences.
At GAMEGRID, we pride ourselves on being a gaming venue that exceeds all expectations. Our team is comprised of skilled professionals with a passion for gaming, and our mission is to provide our users with the best gaming experience possible.
We're all about fun.
We employ sophisticated technology that is constantly evolving to keep up with the latest trends in the gaming industry. Additionally, we offer a wide range of games that cater to all age groups and skill levels, ensuring that everyone can find something they love.
We understand that the world of gaming can be intimidating for new users. That’s why we’ve handpicked the experiences we offer to be user-friendly and approachable, with intuitive navigation that makes it easy to get started. Our team is also always available to answer any questions or concerns that our users may have.
Our mission is to bring people together through the power of gaming. After 4 years of trading, you can say we know a thing or two about games. So whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just starting out, we invite you to come join us at GAMEGRID and experience the magic of gaming in a whole new way.
