Acer, hardware manufacturer of premium Predator PC gaming hardware and accessories, has teamed up with Platform Gaming Bar.
Acer Predator will bring ‘a complete PC gaming experience to customers’, according to a press release. Located in Shoreditch London, this venue introduces the latest hardware in a state-of-the-art gaming bar, allowing gamers to play like esports professionals.
The collaboration between Acer and Platform brings together top-notch gaming hardware and all the latest PC desktops and accessories, creating a unique gaming environment.
The venue invites beginners, casual and more hardened gamers to enjoy this unique set up, whether it’s a party, gaming session or date night.
Platform Bar say they’re ‘the perfect place to come together with friends for a gaming party or just to enjoy the competition. With the latest Acer Predator hardware, gamers can be sure they are getting the best gaming experience possible.’
The group also plans to launch regular leagues and tournaments to foster an even more competitive gaming ecosystem.
While Acer Predator is providing PCs, AOC and Philips are providing monitors (to Platform Shoreditch and Platform Canary Wharf respectively).
Tomaso Portunato, Co-Founder and CEO of Platform Bar, said: “We are proud to announce Acer as our esports stage partner. As a live gaming operator, being equipped with the best equipment from computers to gaming chairs and peripherals is a must. In collaboration with Acer, Platform will continue delivering premium gaming, esports and hospitality experience to customers on a daily basis.”
“We’re very excited to team up with Platform to create an ultimate gaming experience for all skill levels,” added Mike Newson, Manager of Acer’s Gaming Business Unit in the UK. “Our gaming PCs and accessories feature the latest gaming tech, offering immersive and competitive gaming experiences to players of all games and skills, whether you are a casual or returning gamer, or the most enthusiastic pro gamer. Platform is the perfect place for gamers to test their skills and have fun, no matter their level of expertise.”
