Sony is hoping it can rally its PlayStation fans around esports. Sony announced seasonal PS4 tournaments. It’s inviting users of all levels to participate in competitive online gaming through their PS4 consoles, and it’s even offering cash prizes.
The PS4 Tournaments: Challenger Series will kick off with Mortal Kombat 11 on August 6th. Each tournament will run for a few weeks and be broken into stages. In the first round, you’ll have to win at least three out of four matches to advance to stage two. That should improve your odds compared to a single elimination structure. The tournaments will be seasonal, so you’ll have multiple chances to play each title. After Mortal Kombat 11 wraps up, Sony will launch FIFA 20, Battlefield V and Warface tournaments. Other titles should be announced later this year.
