Sega World was formerly a chain of arcades alongside Club Sega, Hi-Tech Land Sega, Hi-Tech Sega, Joypolis, Sega Arena, and Sega branded arcade locations.

The first Sega World location opened in 1993. Sega World arcades were renamed GiGO in March 2022.

Former locations included Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.

Renaming of Sega World locations

In December 2020, Genda purchased the majority of Sega's share of the stock in Genda Sega Entertainment.

On January 28, 2022, Genda purchased the remaining shares and renamed the company Genda GiGO Entertainment.

Beginning on March 9, 2022, and continuing in the following months, all of the Sega-branded arcades were rebranded as GiGO arcades.
