Yas Marina Circuit has opened Yas Verse, a gaming venue at Yas Central in Abu Dhabi, offering experiences across six dedicated zones for casual visitors, families, and competitive players alike.
The venue is structured around distinct formats. The Gaming Hub provides high-performance PCs and PlayStation 5 consoles for solo and multiplayer sessions.
A Classic Zone focuses on older PC titles, while the Retro Zone brings together Nintendo Switch, Sega machines, arcade cabinets, and pinball. The Cave is the only privately bookable space, accommodating PS5 gaming, billiards, or group hire for events and celebrations. Lobby Experiences include interactive stations such as Sonic Racing, and a VIP Experience grants full access to every zone.
Pricing starts at AED 30 for the Classic Zone, AED 50 for the Gaming Hub and Retro Zone, and AED 150 for the all-access VIP Experience. The Cave is bookable by contacting 800 YAS. The venue is open daily from 2:00 PM to 2:00 AM, with sessions available online, by phone, or as walk-ins subject to availability.
“Yas Marina Circuit has evolved into much more than a motorsport destination, and the opening of Yas Verse is another exciting step in expanding the experiences we offer our community. As the region’s only gaming destination located at a Formula 1 circuit, Yas Verse brings together the excitement of gaming with the energy of one of the world’s most iconic sporting venues. Designed for passionate gamers, for those looking to reconnect with classic favourites, or those wanting to spend time with family and friends, Yas Verse offers a unique social entertainment experience that complements everything Yas Marina Circuit has to offer. We’re excited to welcome visitors and continue creating new ways for people to connect, compete and enjoy the circuit beyond race weekends,” Ali Al Beshr, General Manager of Yas Marina Circuit said in a statement.
The opening reflects a broader push to draw visitors to the circuit outside of race season, adding gaming to an existing mix of motorsport events and leisure attractions at Yas Island.
