Repeat.gg, the esports tournament platform, is acquired by PlayStation

The Repeat.gg service has already organized more than 100,000 tournaments for 2.3 million participants. It is one of the largest online tournament platforms both synchronous and asynchronous. The site even rewards players based on their performance during competitions. PlayStation is gradually gaining ground on the various esports scenes.

Last year, the company bought the EVO, the biggest tournament in fighting games. A few weeks ago, the Japanese firm launched their first range of gaming accessories with the aim of becoming the Nike of esports. Now with the takeover of Repeat.gg, PlayStation strengthens its position vis-à-vis esportsand this, for all levels as described by the brand for the GamesIndustry.biz site.

“At PlayStation, our vision for esports has always been about breaking down barriers allowing players to compete at all levels. […] Together with the talented team at Repeat.gg, we are excited to explore more ways for gamers to engage in competitive gaming and expand the breadth of our esports offerings.” – Steven Roberts, Vice President of Global Competitive Gaming at Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The Repeat.gg platform is satisfied with this takeover which is for it a real opportunity to grow.

“We will have access to more resources, games and technology, allowing us to grow the team to lead Repeat in directions we never thought possible. […] This will allow us to significantly expand Repeat over the next two years with many new features, continuing our mission to become synonymous with esports by creating a home where everyone has a chance to compete and win.” – Jeff Shill, Repeat.gg Marketing Manager.
