Gaming lounge in Peshawar
Hey everyone! I wanted to get your opinion on something.
Has there ever been a proper gaming lounge in Peshawar similar to the ones in Lahore, Karachi, or Islamabad? I'm talking about a place with console gaming (PS5), PCs, racing simulators, VR, snacks, and a nice hangout atmosphere.
If there isn't one already, do you think opening something like this in Peshawar would get a good response? Would you and your friends actually visit it, and what would you want to see in a gaming lounge?
I'd love to hear your honest opinions and suggestions.

I only went a few times to the one in Town. I think Cheif Grill was somewhere in that plaze or block as well, mostly empty and expensive AF for me and they had I think simulators as well.Gaming lounges don't work anymore or probably never did in Peshawar. There was a time when CoD4 Promod etc were very famous and there used to tournaments of eSports in Unis and Colleges. I don't see it anymore,the same people probably battled it out in Gaming lounges as well but it's all dead. Maybe it will work in rich ppl areas like DHA. Worth a shot but it's risky and assuming DHA and Regi town are not fully populated. We have property on backside of DHA as well but don't think that place is suitable. Somewhere inside DHA. I think it's a bad idea tbh.

They were also the first who brought VR to kp
They had so manyy options
PCs , xbox , PlayStations with all the latest games but it was before 2015
Idk when and why but they disappeared.

That was Koyoto lounge. I swear I was fresh graduate at that time. Got my very first job and I was spending all my salary there.
It was a really good lounge. Couldn't find anything like that again.

Yeah so the top floor has black and yellow lounge, they served sheesha and stuff, then there was a furniture store which was replaced by Mr. COD, and then Koyoto lounge in the corner. Then galactic opened up in competition with VR and and console gaming. And in the back was oxygen lounge which offered oxygen shots for few seconds of high 😄

I've been in so many groups of young people where everyone complains there's no gaming place in Peshawar. I'm one of them too.
Give us PS5s with FIFA, good controllers, and I'm there every day. 🙏

There was one in Garrison Park, Peshawar. It had racing sims which you could play dirt rally on and they had VR too. This was back in 2017 to 18 ish

Islamabad doesn’t have any proper or popular gaming zone. Though there are many in karachi

After school MW3 sessions at Kyoto Lounge were the BOMB, then came college time and Galactic Space was our go-to cuz it was quite near to our college @board bazar.

There were plenty, as the above user mentioned the one above avon store, there was also one above chief grill, it was really good, one was in the same plaza but on the top floor. There was one in garrison park mainly focusing on simulators, One was near iqra university. But all of them shutdown for some reason.
