Arcade to launch social gaming site in Chicago this August

Arcade will launch F1 Arcade’s latest social gaming and racing-simulator venue in Chicago, Illinois, on August 14. The entertainment hub, located inside an old brewery, will feature an immersive Formula 1-inspired sim racing experience designed for group celebrations such as birthdays and bachelor or bachelorette parties. Players can race around iconic tracks and compete with up to two friends in head-to-head matches, or form larger teams that earn points across races. F1 Arcade’s Chicago site is the brand’s seventh venue in the United States, following earlier announcements from December 2025. Globally, it operates two venues in the UK and a franchised location in Madrid, Spain, where Top Racing Iberia runs 68 full-motion racing simulators opened in April.
