The Good Stuff
Race setup
The race simulator setup is a standout experience for visitors who enjoy competitive driving games.
Board games
A large board-game selection makes it easy to visit with friends without relying only on console gaming.
Relaxed atmosphere
Several reviews describe a calm, comfortable setting that works for gaming, food and unwinding after work.
PS5 rental
Weekend PS5 rental service was reported as smooth, flexible and delivered within 40 minutes of ordering online.
Party setups
Customers reported organised gaming setups for children’s birthdays, including dismantling and a balloon arch.
Food options
Reviews specifically mention fresh food, burgers, an Açaí Bowl, milkshakes and tiramisu.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check PCs. If you plan to use a PC, ask which games are installed and bring your own account; one review found the library outdated.
Check seating. For a PS5 visit with more than two people, ask about the seating first because one customer found it uncomfortable for larger groups.
Use transit. Public transport may be convenient: a reviewer noted that there is a bus stop near the cafe in Nad Al Hamar.
Ask rentals. For a home PS5 rental, ordering online may be worthwhile; one customer received theirs 40 minutes after placing the order.
Ask arcade. Families can ask whether the free arcade arrangement still applies, as one review says children played arcade games for free.

The Bottom Line
Game On Off is a gaming cafe in Nad Al Hamar built for more than just console sessions. Reviews mention PS5, a large board-game collection, a race simulator and VR, so a group can switch activities rather than spend the whole visit on one setup. The cafe also welcomes solo visitors and casual players, not only dedicated gamers.
The atmosphere is repeatedly described as calm, relaxed and comfortable, with friendly, responsive service. Food and drinks are part of the experience too: customers specifically mention burgers, an Açaí Bowl, milkshakes and tiramisu. Families have brought young children for board games, while a separate review says children enjoyed arcade games for free.
There are a few things worth checking before you go. One reviewer found the PC library outdated, with few games installed, and said you need your own account. Another found the PS5 seating poor for groups of more than two, so ask about the setup if you are arriving with a crowd.
Pricing feedback is mixed, including one recent complaint that it was too expensive. For home gaming, PS5 rental received strong feedback, including delivery 40 minutes after an online order. A nearby bus stop was also noted as a convenient transport option.
