A Transformative Moment for Student Esports

Today marks a transformative moment for PlayVS and the future of amateur gaming and esports. We are incredibly excited to announce the acquisitions of Generation Esports and Playfly College Esports. With this expansion, PlayVS now offers the most comprehensive and connected pathway in North America — integrating elementary, middle, high school, and college competition into a single, powerful ecosystem that supports students throughout every stage of their academic journey.

This milestone deepens our commitment to the students, coaches, educators, and communities we serve — expanding equitable access to high-quality competitive experiences and unlocking new opportunities for skill development, academic growth, and career exploration. 

We're building a future where gaming is not only a source of joy and connection but also a foundation for learning, leadership development, and career readiness. By bringing together the leaders in the industry, we’re creating an unprecedented network that enables community building, skill development, and innovation at every level.

As the largest and most connected scholastic and now collegiate gaming platform in North America, PlayVS is uniquely positioned to drive the next wave of growth in amateur esports — now reaching millions of students across 900+ colleges and thousands of K–12 schools.

This moment marks a new chapter — creating opportunities to build a more connected future through the power of play. As we look to 2025 and beyond, PlayVS is laying the foundation for an inclusive esports ecosystem that empowers the next generation to compete, connect, and thrive.
