Mobile Gaming Domination

The Philippines esports market is witnessing a surge in mobile gaming, which now dominates the competitive gaming scene. With increasing smartphone penetration, mobile esports titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) and Call of Duty: Mobile have witnessed exponential growth. For instance, as per industry reports, in 2024, Philippines reinforced its position as a global esports hub, with ONIC Philippines, under the Fnatic banner, dominating the M6 World Championship for MLBB with an exceptional performance. Such achievements elevate market demand in the nation, attracting amplified sponsorships and investments. Mobile gaming's accessibility, low entry cost, and flexible play style contribute to its popularity, particularly among younger demographics. With esports tournaments, such as the Mobile Legends Professional League (MPL), Philippines have seen significant sponsorships, enhancing brand visibility. This trend is supported by improved mobile internet infrastructure, driving the growth of mobile esports leagues, tournaments, and live-streaming events.
