The IOC had envisioned the Esports Olympic Games as a means to blend traditional Olympic principles with the dynamic world of esports. However, the current framework falls short of addressing the unique needs of this rapidly evolving discipline. The extra time will allow organizers to create an event structure and financial model that not only meets Olympic standards but also excites the global esports community.

Future iterations of the Esports Olympic Games may feature a diverse array of competitions, including virtual adaptations of traditional sports like archery, baseball, chess, sailing, tennis, motorsport, and dance sport. The IOC is committed to ensuring that this unique event will capture the spirit of competition and innovation that esports represents.
In light of this postponement, the IOC reassures players, publishers, and fans that their commitment to delivering a premier esports experience remains unwavering. The additional time will facilitate deeper consultations and planning, aiming for an event that honors both the Olympic legacy and the vibrant culture of esports.
Updates on the event details will be announced as preparations progress. The esports community is encouraged to stay tuned for more information on this historic occasion.
