Will we see the creation of “Olympic eSports Games”? The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been organizing esports events since 2021. It started with the Olympic Virtual Series, and last year it launched the Olympic Esports Week. Both events were a success and attracted as many as 500K participants and over 6M views. Now, the IOC is seriously considering creating the official Olympic Esports Games, and the committee will be voting on the matter during the Paris Olympics this summer. (Olympics.com)
