Gaming Lounge Coming to Annapolis Mall

Gamers will compete in tournaments and test out new games at this new store coming to the mall in April.

A new store headed to the Westfield Annapolis mall in April will unite gamers for tournaments and allow them to test drive the latest games on shelves before buying them.

Press Play will be located in the mall next to Under Armour. The space currently has a sign announcing their grand opening in April.

The company's website describes Press Play as a lounge for gamers, where they can sit down with several game consoles to play by themselves or with friends on fully equipped HDTVs.

"At Press Play, customers will be able to preview full version of video games  instead of the limited demo versions available online. This way you can really see if you’ll like the game before you spend $50–60 on it," according to the website. 

Each week, the store will also host tournaments where players will gather to compete in games such as Halo, Call of Duty, Street Fighter and more. Prizes will include gift cards and tickets to major events, according to the website.
