About Uplink

What is Uplink?
At Uplink, we use immersive, interactive tech to bring people closer, not isolate them. Whether it’s a parent racing their child in a sim rig, teens strategizing in an esports match, or a multigenerational family golfing together — our experiences are built to connect. Every piece of tech at Uplink is designed for shared fun, collaborative play, and lasting memories. We don’t fight technology. We reinvent how it’s used — for the better.
PLAY. COMPETE. CONNECT.
