Gaming and Esports traffic doubled from last year says Globe

-

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit that forced people to stay in their homes for quarantine, it also opened the doors for esports and new gaming content to help continue to fuel the passion of gamers and esports enthusiasts. This increased the Internet traffic for gaming and esports content in the Philippines according to Globe.

Globe SVP and Head of Content Business Group Nikko Acosta says that from the minimal share of content traffic three years ago, gaming and esports went up to more than double in year-on-year traffic growth. This can be attributed to the availability of proper devices, strong connection to Internet services, and an impressive portfolio of games to choose from today.

League of Legends: Wild Rift alone reached 90% of its topline monthly target due to the wireless availability of the game, an area of access that was not available in the past says Globe.

Enjoying your passion doesn’t mean it will go away with this pandemic. The nice thing about being online is that as long as you have the time, you’ll be able to invest properly. And since you’re at home, you can also connect to your friends and community to be able to play together,” Acosta said.

Acosta also says that “…With the right distribution, with the right pricing, with the right infrastructure, we believed the players would come, and they wouldn’t only come, they would stay. And that is something we’re proud of.”

For esports, the core experience of a tournament is being physically present to experience it with other players and supporters but it remains resilient and easy to full migrate online says Globe. Esports is currently slowly working its way back into the current environment as well.

We do the same with fervor and tenacity to set Esports up, but we do it online. And we have the promise that someday when things open up with the proper safety protocols, we can go back to including our offline events. Esports is thriving because we can create a community digitally. And someday it will be both digital and offline,” Acosta said.

Globe strongly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 9, which highlights the roles of infrastructure and innovation as crucial drivers of economic growth and development. Globe is committed to upholding the 10 United Nations Global Compact principles.
