6 LAN Shops in Singapore For Lag-Free Gaming Sessions From Only $2/Hour

Gaming shops in Singapore


If LAN shops were an important part of your childhood, you might remember scrimping and saving on pocket money, and racing to a nearby one right after school to game with friends.

LAN shops were at their prime then, because back in the day, computers weren’t a household item. These days, people have their own customised set-ups and no longer have a reason to visit a LAN shop.

But if you’re gaming on a toaster, suffering from sucky internet or looking to take a trip down memory lane, here are six affordable LAN shops in Singapore for a lag-free gaming session.


1. Cyber Express Cafe – comfy individual sofa seats ($2.50/hour)

Cheap LAN shops in Singapore


While nothing can beat the comforts of home, LAN shops can be a great alternative if you can’t afford an expensive setup of your own, or if you can’t game into the night because you might disturb your family members.

Plus, they’re a real lifesaver when your computer or internet is down, and aren’t that pricey either.
