Our Club

Built by gamers, tuned for competition

TurboPlayStudio gaming floor with rows of PCs

A clubhouse two minutes from Ripponlea Station

We opened TurboPlayStudio in 2019 in a converted warehouse on Glen Eira Road, right between Elsternwick and St Kilda. Forty rigs, a raised esports stage and a console lounge share one floor, so casual sessions and ranked scrims happen side by side.

Hardware we obsess over so you don't have to

Every station runs an RTX 40-series GPU, 32GB of RAM and a 240Hz panel, wiped and updated nightly. Peripherals from our wall of loaner keyboards and headsets are sanitised between every booking, and our on-site techs fix drift or lag before it costs you a round.

Players competing at an esports event

A community, not just a room full of screens

From Tuesday Valorant ladders to Sunday retro couch tournaments, there is always a bracket to join. Our members range from twelve-year-olds learning their first FPS to Oceanic-ranked competitors grinding for LAN qualifiers.

What the club says

I train here three nights a week and my aim consistency has jumped noticeably on the 240Hz screens. The techs actually care — Jesse spotted stick drift on my controller before I even noticed.
