This guide will get you set up to play the Arcade Games for the 2020 Virtual Get Together event!
We have 3 Arcade Machines for people to play on, each loaded with thousands of games! Over the internet! Multiple people can play on each arcade machine depending on the game.
Its free so give it a whirl! You will need your own controllers! Any controller will do, it works with PS4 and Xbox One/360 controllers as well as many others. You can find them on Amazon for around thirty USD in the states as well.
The arcade will open starting at 1:00PM ET on the 24th of October.
Steps in this guide will be short so don't worry, be happy!
