The state-of-the-art venue celebrated its official launch on May 11 with a grand opening event showcasing the unmatched variety of gaming technology and entertainment options. Uplink’s offerings include 40 gaming PCs, four racing simulators and three top-of-the-line Golfzon TwoVision golf simulators. Uplink is poised to become the ultimate family entertainment center in the area, offering memberships, tournaments, leagues, summer camps, and specialized event hosting making it a premier destination for esports enthusiasts and families seeking a fun and engaging environment.
The King of Prussia location, as Uplink’s second venture, not only aims to be a top-notch gaming hub but also focuses on Uplink’s unique virtuous gaming model, which utilizes competitive esports to help kids learn important life skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. This approach has already garnered Uplink a nomination at the 2023 Tempest Awards for Best Charity or Social Good Initiative.
“We recognize the importance of connecting with today’s youth in a way that resonates with them and gaming does just that,” said Derek Rodner, CEO and co-founder of Uplink. “We’ve built a network of customers in Chester Springs that have become like family and we look forward to doing the same in King of Prussia.”
In addition to gaming, Uplink’s trio of TwoVision golf simulators offer the most realistic indoor golf experience available. Born from Golfzon’s decades of experience as the international leader in golf simulation technology, the TwoVision uses a 24-way directional moving swing plate that shifts under the golfer’s feet to recreate any real-life lie. Additional features include high-speed sensors that capture club head and ball flight data for incredibly realistic performance feedback, an auto-tee and ball-retrieval system, a virtual caddie to give players advice and multi-surface mats to imitate the fairway, rough and bunkers.
Uplink’s latest venue in King of Prussia also offers a versatile event space ideal for youth birthday parties, private and corporate events, and so much more. With this expansion, Uplink continues to fulfill its mission of building better gamers and better humans.
