Earlier today, the International Olympic Committee announced that the first-ever Olympic Esports Games will take place in Saudi Arabia in 2025. <\/p>\n

In its announcement, the IOC revealed that the Olympic Esports Games is part of the organization\u2019s 12-year partnership with the National Olympic Committee of Saudi Arabia. However, the particular details for the Olympic Esports Games, such as its city, date, qualifications for prospective players, and game titles, have yet to be hashed out.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a \u2018first\u2019 ever Esports Olympic Games, obviously there is still much to consider and plan with the IOC, but we are committed to hosting a special event that respects and celebrates the Olympic values while boldly seizing the momentum to drive esports forward with the international platform the sport and its athletes deserve,\u201d Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al Faisal, president of the Saudi Arabian Olympic and Paralympic Committee said. \u201cThe world will have an open invitation to join us in 2025 and celebrate this moment together.\u201c<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very fortunate to be able to work with the Saudi NOC on the Olympic Esports Games, because it has great \u2013 if not unique \u2013 expertise in the field of esports with all its stakeholders. The Olympic Esports Games will greatly benefit from this experience,\u201d IOC President Thomas Bach wrote. \u201cBy partnering with the Saudi NOC we have also ensured that the Olympic values are respected, in particular, with regard to the game titles on the programme, the promotion of gender equality and engagement with the young audience, which is embracing esports.\u201d<\/p>\n

In its announcement, the IOC also revealed plans for the International Federation and the National Olympic Committees\u2019 \u201ce-version\u201d of sports to include in the Olympic Esports Games. According to Engadget<\/a>, this edict coincides with the organization\u2019s esports \u201ctrial event\u201d from last year, which saw athletes compete in Gran Turismo, Just Dance, and Fortnite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While the Olympic Esports Games\u2019 games have yet to be announced, the IOC is reportedly eying partnerships with prominent video game publishers like Epic Games, Capcom, and Riot Games to have Rocket League, Street Fighter, and League of Legends take part in the inaugural event, according to L’Equipe<\/a>. <\/p>\n

While the announcement of the first-ever Olympic Esports Games comes as an exciting surprise to gamers around the world, it also comes with a bit of dissent. Particularly with Saudi Arabia\u2019s controversial human rights record<\/a>, which includes allegations of unjust treatment of women and members of the LGBTQ community. <\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in the gaming sphere. Back in 2021, Prince Mohammed bin Salman invested over $3 billion in Take-Two, EA, and Activision Blizzard<\/a>. As of 2022, Mohammed bin Salman\u2019s Electronic Gaming Development Company has 96.18 percent of King of Fighters, Fatal Fury, and Samurai Shodown developer SNK\u2019s company shares, according to The Verge<\/a>. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
