Players can compete as individuals or in teams of a chosen size. Cash prizes for each tournament are determined by the number of players in the tournament and the tournament’s entry fee. Ultimate Arena has implemented a wide variety of player-friendly features and functions that provide a great experience for new and veteran players alike, such as a simple to use interface and an innovative system to ensure fair play.

“As a long-time gamer and competitor in online tournaments, I know just how exciting things can get when there’s money on the line,” said Dennis “Thresh” Fong, Chief Gaming Officer of Ultimate Arena and World Champion of Doom, Quake, and Quake 2. “Ultimate Arena gives gamers the ability to put their money where their mouth is.”

There is no cost to sign up for Ultimate Arena. Players can create their own tournaments using their preferred game settings, or they can choose to join already open tournaments created by other players. Game settings may include the number of players per game, the map, and the entrance fee to participate in the tournament. When the match ends, the players' account balances are updated to reflect the results of the match. Players can also join “Instant Games” which display their winnings while they are still inside the game at the end of each round.
