Sony is launching a
dedicated eSports platform for the PlayStation 4.
Gamereactor reports
that Sony confirmed details of the initiative - entitled PlayStation Official
League - at a recent Spanish press event. The competitive league debuts in
Spain tomorrow, with plans to expand to Portugal and Italy shortly.
Available initially
just for PS Plus subscribers, the league will be supported by titles like
Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts and FIFA 15, with both team and individual
prizes up for grabs.
We recently reported
how eSports continues to rise in popularity, with ESL One's Counter-Strike:
Global Offensive tournament drawing three million viewers and a $250,000 prize.
Last month, ESPN president John Skipper stated that he considers eSports a
competition, not a sport.
