Gamers8: The Land of Heroes follows the success of last year’s event, which saw the world’s best esports clubs and players battle it out across five titles for a multi-million dollar prize pool. The 2022 edition featured Rocket League, Fortnite, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege, PUBG Mobile, and the Dota 2 Riyadh Masters. And the SEF is making sure that 2023’s event is even bigger. All of the last year’s titles return and are joined by Tekken, StarCraft, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), PUBG PC, and Street Fighter, resulting in an exhilarating tournament lineup. The stakes have never been higher, with a total prize pool of over $45 million.

Joining the esports elite at Gamers8: The Land of Heroes will be an all-star lineup of international music stars. Multi-platinum-selling rock outfit Imagine Dragons will produce an electrifying experience for all Gamers8 attendees and are joined by 4-time Grammy winner Macklemore, the man behind the iconic song Thrift Shop, which has been viewed over 1 billion times on YouTube. With 8 concerts in total, stay tuned to the official Gamers8 channels for more news on who will be rocking the stage.

Running alongside all esports tournaments will be a wide selection of activities for attendees to enjoy when not watching the competition. The popular Aramco racing simulator returns, and there’s even the chance to experience life-sized Pac-Man and hunt down some ghosts. Last year’s fan-favorite Japamura zone comes back to Gamers8 2023, participate in a range of immersive workshops, witness authentic musical performances, or step into the Dojo and learn the basics of Samurai etiquette and sword fighting.

Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Sultan, Chairman of the Saudi Esports Federation, said: “The scale of this year’s Gamers8 and the talent it attracts demonstrates our commitment to unlocking the full potential of esports as the industry continues to evolve.”

“As elite esports athletes and their fans return to Riyadh for Gamers8: The Land of Heroes, they do so knowing that a whole new world of possibilities awaits them. We are incredibly excited to welcome people back with an event that will truly be game-changing.”

Gamers8: The Land of Heroes will conclude with the Next World Forum, an esports and gaming forum that will bring together sector leaders and experts from around the world to host discussions that will shape the future of the booming industry.
