Saudi Arabia is thus continuing to gain influence in e-sports. This year, Riyadh hosted the “Gamers8” festival, which hosted highly prized e-sports tournaments. The e-sports commitment is part of the crown prince’s “Vision 2030” transformation plan, which aims to make Saudi Arabia less dependent on oil revenues. The state is investing billions of dollars in sports, e-sports and gaming through the PIF sovereign wealth fund. Another goal is probably to improve the country’s image. Critics accuse Saudi Arabia of engaging in “e-sports washing” with these investments.
