US Open 2024 to Feature Gaming Zone with Fortnite and Roblox
The US Open, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world, is set to embrace the world of gaming in 2024. The USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center announced the creation of the Advantage Arena Gaming Zone, a dedicated space within the Chase Center that will offer 13 playable stations for gamers of all ages.
The gaming zone will debut during the tournament's annual Fan Week, which runs from August 19-25. It will feature a variety of games, including tennis-themed versions of Fortnite and Roblox, as well as traditional tennis games like TopSpin 2K25 and Tennis Clash.
"It's incredibly exciting for us to connect our growing presence in the gaming space with the on-site fan experience at the US Open," said Brian Ryerson, the USTA Head of Product and User Experience.
Fans will have the opportunity to compete for over 3,500 prizes, including free copies of TopSpin 2K25 Standard Edition, in-game redeemables on Roblox, and unique unlockables within Tennis Clash.
"Not only are we reaching more fans by collaborating with some of the most popular gaming titles in the world," said Ryerson, "the 'Advantage Arena' gives our fans on-site a number of new, fun ways to engage with tennis, while also potentially drawing new fans to the US Open."
The Chase Center, which also houses the Chase Lounge, is located by the East Gate of the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
