Gen.G Unveils 'GGX': The Future of Immersive Gaming Venues
On June 21, 2025, Gen.G Esports officially opened GGX (Gen.G Gaming Xperience), a groundbreaking cultural gaming space located in the heart of Seoul, South Korea. This venue aims to transform the gaming experience by integrating lifestyle elements and community interaction within a premium gaming environment. Unlike traditional PC cafes, GGX is the first flagship venue of its kind, designed to cater to the diverse interests of avid gamers.
Situated near the Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station, GGX spans a massive 1,570 square meters and features 252 state-of-the-art gaming stations.

This ensures gamers experience the best in comfort and technology, allowing for high-end gameplay.
GGX is not just about gaming; it represents a comprehensive cultural hub. The venue is a result of collaboration with renowned industry partners, including Otoki, Monster Energy, and SIDIZ, all contributing to the overarching goal of creating a space that combines gaming, community, and lifestyle. As a flagbearer for Gen.G’s philosophy, GGX promotes an ecosystem where brands, fans, and creators collaborate to provide unforgettable experiences.
