Gucci Town, the virtual piazza, aims to engage with Gucci followers by allowing them to visit a collection of structures inspired by the brand’s real-world products. Users can enter Gucci competitions and create art pieces online through an in-game portal, as well as visiting exhibition spaces linked to the brand’s online concept store, Vault, for the latest product drops and collaborations.
The virtual realm also includes a Gucci shop with freshly launched, archive-inspired items, as well as Power-up Place, a “café,” where users may purchase Gucci products and communicate with other users across the world. Visitors that interact with the town’s activities will also receive GG Gems, an in-game currency that can be used to purchase power-ups or virtual products.
