Shift Arcade (formerly DriveSims) was born from a simple yet ambitious idea shared over a late-night Dungeons & Dragons campaign. Greg, a longtime sim racing enthusiast, saw the potential for a high-end racing simulator experience that most people couldn’t have at home. He shared his vision with Paul, and together, they set out to turn that dream into reality. What started as a proof-of-concept in a suburban shopping center has since grown into a thriving business, hosting over 2,000 customers a month. By combining state-of-the-art racing simulators with a passion for competition and community, Shift Arcade has become the go-to destination for an adrenaline-fueled, immersive racing experience.

From day one, we’ve been committed to delivering the most realistic and accessible sim racing experience possible. To achieve this, we built our own software, DriveOS, allowing seamless online bookings, league tracking, and in-store automation. Our customer-first approach, combined with industry-leading haptic motion simulators, ensures that every racer—whether a first-timer or a seasoned pro—gets an unforgettable ride. With expansion on the horizon, including a mobile SimTrailer and the launch of our SimStation solution, Shift Arcade is not just about racing; it’s about pushing the limits of what’s possible in the world of simulation.
