Rapid improvement of smartphone technology and cellular connectivity have paved the way for mobile eSports to take the main stage. In fact, the Esports World Cup has partnered with developers to include tournaments held for mobile games including a number of Tencent-owned titles1. Why might this be important industry news? Mobile gaming has the potential to open diversified revenue streams through sponsorship deals, partnerships, and advertising opportunities on both competitive and casual levels. The MVIS® Global Video Gaming & eSports Index (MVESPO) has been steadily making gains since late 2022, demonstrating the industry’s inelasticity to pricing pressures caused by global inflation. Year-to-date, the MVESPOTR index has gained 14.80%, and in the last 5 years, the index has risen by 123.27%.
