Sony is creating an eSports league on the PS4

Jon Martindale October 16, 2014 Console, Software & Gaming

Considering its big push for streaming content on the new-gen console, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Sony is launching its very own eSports platform on the PS4. However it's unlikely anyone would have predicted where the league would be born: in Spain.

The news was outed in a Spanish press conference (via GameReactor) which announced that the first games to be supported by the new competitive league system would be Battlefield 4, Call of Duty: Ghosts, War Thunder and FIFA 15, with Sony set to offer prizes for the best individual players, as well as the top teams.

It will operate much like other big eSports games, with seasons. Players will be able to build up their rank over several months, with a winner crowned at the end of the period and given prizes, including cash.

The league will launch today in Spain and will become available for people to take part in around the world before long. However, initially at least, only PS Plus members are said to be applicable.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
