Storage Unit In Swindon: Perfect For Your Video Game Collection

If video games are your passion but you are running out of room to store them at home, our storage unit in Swindon is here to help. Read on to find out how.

Many people across the UK love to play video games. A survey conducted by USwitch found that the amount of online gamers in the UK is expected to rise to 11.56 million in 2027, from 10.84 million in 2023. And that is just those playing online. Many people still prefer playing on gaming consoles, like Nintendo Switch or Playstation.

If gaming is your passion and you have a large collection of video games, you may not have the room within your home to store them safely. Our storage units are here to help.

Within this article, we will let you know how our storage unit in Swindon will be the perfect place to store your video game collection.

How To Store Your Video Games

Before you video games even go into a storage unit, you need to make sure that they have been properly prepped for storage. Within this section, we will look at how to get them ready for storage.

Have A Declutter

Now we know that this might sound sacrilegious when it comes to your video game collection but, if you have a good look through it all, you may find that there are some video games that you aren’t interested in keeping anymore. These could be sold, given away to friends or family or donated to charity shops.

If you aren’t sure about what to sell certain games for, local video game shops, like Onyx Dawn Games, may be able to offer you some advice.

Clean Your Video Games

Once you know which video games you are keeping and storing, you need to give them a clean.

Although it is best to leave the actual video game, you should use a slightly damp cloth to clean the exterior of your video game’s cases. Once any dust or dirt has been removed, you should dry each one with an old towel.

Place Them Into Airtight Containers

After they are all clean, you should store them in airtight containers. You can organise them within the containers in any way that makes sense to you but airtight containers are a must.

You should avoid stacking your video game collection too high in these boxes, especially when storing your games long-term, as this can damage the games at the bottom.

Keep Them Away From Direct Sunlight

Wherever you are storing your video game collection, it is really important that you keep them all away from direct sunlight. If you have the space within a wardrobe or cupboard, this will be good. If you don’t, a storage unit will be an excellent solution.

Why You Should Use Our Storage Unit In Swindon

Now you know who to get your video game collection ready for storage, it is time to look at why you should choose our storage units.

No Windows = No Direct Sunlight

As we have already mentioned, self storage is an excellent solution when you need to store items that can’t come into contact with direct sunlight because most self storage does not have windows, including ours at our Swindon store.

So, storing your video game collection will mean that all of your video games are safe from the sun.

A Storage Unit That Meets Your Needs

Our units in our Swindon store start at 15 sq ft to 500+ sq ft so, no matter how large your video game collection is, we will have a storage unit that meets your needs.

Secure Storage

All of our storage units are fitted with an alarm and smoke and fire detectors. And there is 24/7 CCTV surveillance around the entire Swindon facility so your video game collection will be safe with us.

All of our storage comes with flexible rental contracts. This means that if you need to change your storage unit – upsize or downsize – at any point, you are free to do so. You will just need to have a chat with the Swindon team.

You are also free to leave your unit before your rental period has expired. We just need you to give us a short period of notice.
