What’s the experience like?

Honestly, I never thought a layover could fly by so fast. Right after passport control in Terminal 3, I spotted the glowing Game Space sign and wandered in—no reservation needed. The place buzzes with energy even at midnight; you hear the click of controllers and the occasional cheer from someone scoring big on FIFA. The staff greeted me like an old friend and set me up with a PS5 station in minutes.

Rows of high-backed chairs face huge screens—some folks are deep into Fortnite battles, others just chilling with Minecraft or catching up on Netflix. I tried out one of the VR headsets (the guy next to me was playing Beat Saber and really getting into it). There’s a faint smell of popcorn from the snack bar, and you can grab a cold drink if you want. It’s not just for hardcore gamers—there were families with kids, solo travelers, even a couple of airport staff sneaking in a quick round during their break.

The best part? You don’t have to worry about time zones or missing your flight—Game Space is open all day, every day. Charging stations are everywhere (my phone was nearly dead), and if you’re into streaming or want to try something new, the team will walk you through it without making you feel silly. I picked up a quirky Mario keychain from their merch shelf as a souvenir. If you’re stuck at DXB for an hour or two, this is hands-down the most fun way to wait.
