This paper investigates probabilistic robustness of nonconvex-nonconcave minimax problems via the scenario approach. Specifically, under convex strategy sets for all players, inspired by recent advances in scenario optimization, we first establish a probabilistic robustness guarantee for an $\varepsilon$-stationary point, overcoming the dependence on the non-degeneracy assumption by proving the monotonicity of the stationary residual in the number of scenarios. Furthermore, in the presence of nonconvex strategy sets, we reveal the fundamental difficulty of obtaining a tight theoretical bound based on this recent framework. Consequently, we establish a relaxed, yet rigorously valid, probabilistic bound for a global minimax point. A numerical experiment corroborates our theoretical findings.
