GTPlayer is promoting five of its gaming chairs as their best offerings for 2025 by touting the seats’ ergonomic features, varying prices and versatility to double as office furniture for gamers willing to pay more.
A quick YouTube search yields a range of reviews about gaming chairs from GTRacing, of which GTPlayer is a sub-brand. Those video commentaries discuss whether some of the chairs will support as much weight as the brand claims, question rust and construction and long-term comfort for extended game play, particularly in the comments.
It’s important to note the age of some of those video assessments as they can predate the promotion of the models featured for the 2025 spring sale. GTPlayer’s latest press release states it heard and incorporated customer feedback to improve the five models it highlights.
Many reviewers agree on the affordability of the seats. And with 8th and 9th generation console games selling for $70 to $80 – yes, that’s you, Mario Kart World, Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and you, too, NBA2K25 – the basic model of GTPlayer gaming chair starts at just $20 more.
So what’s GTPlayer saying about the chairs? The brand’s really emphasizing ergonomic features and pitching that as a buyer’s investment in health, well-being and productivity. And the company does encourage gamers to consider how they play and their body type to decide which chair best meets their needs.
First up, the most affordable one. The GT800A doesn’t cost much more than the director’s cut of Ghost of Tsushima when it released. Starting at $89, the entry-level chair offers a retractable footrest and comes in PVC (polyvinyl chloride) leather.
Meant for remote workers and gamers, the model features playful, bright accent colors – IBM blue, stop light green, morning glory purple, tomato red and petal pink. It also comes in monochromatic black and gray tones. The chair reclines to a nearly-flat 135 degrees for naps, and the lumbar and headrest cushions are adjustable.
The Footrest Series LR002 takes it up a notch in features and price. With airy tech fabric, GTPlayer bills it as environmentally friendly and good for pet owners because of its scratch resistance. The model costs $99-$129 and features a seat cushion with independent springs.
Linkage armrests move with the backrest when reclining. Like the cheaper base model, the chair also includes height adjustment along with back and neck pillows.
Topping out at $160, the ACE-PRO model is the first in the list that mentions suitability for “professionals working from home,” “refined adjustments,” “premium experience,” and a “sophisticated aesthetic.”
That sophistication translates to offering finishes that include solid black finish, muted wine red, light brown or barely-there green accents. At that higher price point, GTPlayer provides more attention to stitching detail, Bluetooth speakers and an upgrade to PU (polyurethane) leather.
Students and budget watchers who want modern flair are the target audience for the Cozy Series GT205. It sells for $159-$179. The seat showcases diamond patterned upholstery to distinguish it from the common racing-style look. Like the ACE-PRO it’s covered in PU leather and independent seat cushion springs.
The Ace Series MARS model targets the big gamer. That’s size, not play intensity. “Heavy duty” is the first phrase in its style description, and that list ends with “rugged design.
Describing it as wider, taller, deeper, GTRacing featured a review it says comes from a 240 lb, 6’3” gamer. That anonymous customer reportedly said the chair offers “plenty of room, feels incredibly stable even when I recline way back, and the support is excellent for my long work and gaming hours.” That model sells for $179-$199.
