Everyone can be a winner at an Ultimo Hombre Gamerdays event, finding a home amongst friends as you battle for supremacy on Call of Duty ™, score an injury time winner on Fifa 18™ or Pro Evolution Soccer ™ 2018, get down and dirty with DiRT 4™ and rise to the top on some of the world’s most popular videogames titles. Play for fun or play to win; the favored gamers of Birmingham will be the lucky first to experience Gamerdays, but Ultimo Hombre will soon spread throughout the UK, with dozens of venues coming on line, competing against each other in real time and streaming content around the locations to see just who has the necessary skills to beat the elite!
