Starting in 2025, the Olympic E-Sport Games is said to bring the excitement of the Olympics to the e-sport world every two years, much like its Winter Olympics counterpart, and the first nation to host the inaugural games will be the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

They announced the games? I'm going to assume Street Fighter 6 is one of the games since news involving that game was reported on their website.

Why not - I think it’s fine if they want to include silly sport games with zero competitive scene but to pretend it’s some global video game tournament and not include the most “esport” games of esports is dumb

This is kind of silly to have all "sports" games, it's not playing to the strength of the format.

Chess.com isn't even really a videogame, they could have just included chess at the regular Olympics.

And they aren't including FIFA?
