Gamer’s Guild at Bugis+
Any avid gamer will tell you that the bigger the gaming spot is, the better. There’s plenty of room for everyone, with no need to fight for controllers or games. Well, it doesn’t get any bigger than Gamer’s Guild at Bugis+, opening on 14th June 2025. It offers over 300 console games, 50 console stations, and 9 private gaming rooms, making it Singapore’s biggest console esports store. Here’s all you need to know.
What you need to know about Gamer’s Guild
Gamer’s Guild is brought to you by EVO Amusement, the same entertainment company that opened Singapore’s first ever blind box F&B spot, Nana & Friends Cafe. It is located on Level 5 of Bugis+, right beside the Toy Or Game store.

As mentioned, the place is big, spanning more than 3,800sqft. On entering, you’ll be greeted by a 139-inch LED wall that’s got YouTube gaming footage rolling. Add on the club-level audio equipment that Gamer’s Guild is equipped with, and you’ve got a pretty zhnged–up gaming atmosphere.
You’re really spoilt for choice when it comes to the console games here.
First things first – pick your choice of game through the QR catalogue at the front counter. If you’re a newbie at this whole gaming thing like me, the staff will be able to share their recommendations.
For example, Sonic X Shadow Generations is a good pick for the Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5), and I was told that you can never go wrong with Mario Kart Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch.
Step into the driver’s seat in the racing simulator room
Getting to know what it feels like to be in the drivers seat, literally.
Fans of the Fast & Furious franchise can put their drifting skills to the test in the racing simulator room. This room was designed by Next Level Racing and Thrustmaster – some of the world’s top sim racing developers, whose hardware are used even by pro F1 and race car athletes.
This is as close as you’ll ever get to driving a high performance car; short of actually sitting behind the wheels of one, you’ll even drift and feel the G-force resistance on the steering wheel that pro racers go through.
What consoles can you find at Gamer’s Guild?
Nintendo Switch
Eager fans keeping tabs on the Nintendo Switch 2 will be glad to know that Gamer’s Guild will be bringing in the console on 26th June 2025. Meanwhile, their current Nintendo Switch consoles are pretty solid too, paired with Google’s latest gaming monitor, the AOC Q27G4XY. TL;DR: it’s the same screens that pro gamers play on. Impressive.
What you can look forward to when you play on these 27-inch screens: HDMI-enabled Vertical Alignment (VA) panels with deeper blacks and high contrast for extra crisp, vivid images, Quad HD (QHD) that displays every last detail to crystal clarity, and a 180Hz refresh rate that means you will experience little motion blur or lag, if any at all.
Sony PlayStation 5 consoles
Yes, the Sony PS5 was released in 2020, but if it makes you feel better, you’ll be playing on the latest Slim version at Gamer’s Guild – the next best thing from a PS5 Pro.
As with all PS5 consoles, you’ll be playing on their wireless DualSense controllers – widely regarded as the best ever PS controller. Its powerful haptic feedback feature was lauded for its responsive, realistic vibrations, and dynamic adaptive triggers that help you achieve full immersion into gameplay. It’s meant to be pretty lifechanging, if you’ve not had a go on the latest PS technology.
Anime pop-ups & merch
Die-hard anime fans can also look forward to rotating anime pop-ups coming to Gamer’s Guild. From now until 29th June 2025, you can check out Colorful Stage! The Movie: A Miku Who Can’t Sing Pop-Up Store.
Immortalise the visit by copping some merch to bring back home. We thought the keychain holder ($10) and multi-pouch ($30) were pretty cute, though the tote bag ($30) is arguably the most practical for everyday use.
Toy Or Game Store
If you’re interested in playing any of the games again in your own set-up back home, swing by the Toy Or Game store right beside, which stocks all of the games from Gamer’s Guild.
For instance, the games we played earlier, Sonic X Shadow Generations and Mario Kart Deluxe cost $59 and $89 respectively. Of course, there are a bunch of other popular games available, like Black Myth Wukong ($81) which took the gaming world by storm when it was released last year.
How much does it cost to play at Gamer’s Guild?
They run on a first-come-first-serve basis, with a grand opening promotion where you can enjoy 1 hour of free gameplay daily. Yes, you read that right. At the time of writing, there’s no end date planned for this promo, so you know you’ve gotta go down stat.
Simply sign up for the free membership at the counter to get your free hours. Subsequent hours will be charged at $10/hour, slightly higher than average for console games, but still reasonable, considering the sheer number of games you can play.
