Get ready for a historic milestone in the world of gaming! 2025 is bringing the highly anticipated debut of the Olympic Esports Games in Saudi Arabia. Whether you’re an avid player or new to the scene, here’s your guide to the upcoming event and where to catch all the action.

What Are the Olympic Esports Games?

A crowded arena watches esports on a large screen.

2025 is the first time esports will become part of the Olympics.

The Olympic Esports Games is a brand-new global competition from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the same people behind the Olympics.


The IOC first dipped its toes into esports with the 2021 Olympic Virtual Series, a set of online sports competitions that blew up in popularity with tons of players and viewers.


After the Olympic Esports Week in Singapore became a smash hit in 2023, it was clear: esports are a perfect fit for the Olympics!

Why Does This Historic Event Matter?

The Olympic Esports Games is a massive win for the esports community. It gives the gaming industry recognition and respect on a global scale and opens new opportunities for aspiring players and fans.

Who Are the Olympic Esports Athletes?

Expect to see some of the world’s most established players during the 2025 Olympic Esports Games. These may include legends like Jared Montgomery from the USA, Shoma Mori from Japan, and Amandine Morisset from France.


The Philippine Esports Organization (PESO) plans to form a strong national team of the country’s top esports athletes. Though there’s no final list of names yet, expect to see some mobile gaming superstars. After all, the Philippines has already crushed it in global tournaments like the VALORANT Champions Tour 2021: Southeast Asia Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs.

Which Games Will Take Center Stage?

Officials haven’t announced the complete lineup of games yet, but you can expect to see a mix of popular titles across different gaming genres. Here are the types of games you might see:

MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena)

In MOBAs, two teams clash on a virtual battlefield! You control a unique character with awesome abilities, but you'll need serious teamwork and strategy to crush the enemy. Popular MOBAs include Dota 2 and League of Legends.

Sports Simulations

Love sports? Sports sims let you live the dream! Play as your favorite athletes and teams in games like FIFA (football) and NBA 2K (basketball).

It's a free-for-all! Battle royales drop you into a massive map where you scavenge for loot, fight other players, and do whatever it takes to be the last one standing. Think Fortnite, PUBG, and total mayhem.
