The UK Royal Navy, as part of a partnership with the British Esports Federation, has constructed a first-of-its-kind "esports suite" onboard an active Navy warship. The HMS Prince of Wales' esports office contains eight Alienware PCs loaded to the teeth with RTX 4080s, a console gaming station, and enough LEDs to make a college dorm room blush.
The UK's Royal Navy has recognized esports as a "military sport" since March 2024, encouraging involvement in it for both seamen and civilians. While many other active warships have included room for console gaming on Xboxes, Playstations, and Nintendo Switches, the Prince of Wales is the first UK warship to include PC gaming setups onboard at this scale.
