Joystick, a new dating site built specifically to help gamers find love and playmates, has gone live. 

Founded by David Minns, a “serial dating entrepreneur” who has won several awards, including at the UK Dating Awards, and Global Dating Insights, Joystick is a fully-featured dating site, claiming to offer first-class security and one of the best privacy policies in the industry. 

Open to every gender and sexuality, Joystick is signing-up members from all over the world, and is squarely aiming to cater for exactly what gamers want, including on the technology front – the site says a global search takes just 0.02 seconds, and a profile load is sub 400ms. 

Offering powerful search, private chat and pictures, gaming centric profiles, reporting and blocking features, and optimised for mobile, laptops and desktops, the site also offers the ability to easily delete your entire profile and make it “as if you never joined.” 

During launch, Joystick.dating is completely free.

AYO.NEWS says:

We’ve often commented on how gaming and esports are very much a total lifestyle for millions of people around the world (something that many traditional bookies, for example, continually fail to grasp), so Joystick clearly has potential if it can get some traction, and it’s easy to see how there’s vast scope for expansion beyond its core matchmaking service.

Of course, existing dating services haven’t been ignoring the gaming and esports community, with Tinder even sponsoring esports organisations, so Joystick will need to prove it offers something really special.
