The best movies and TV shows to watch if you love esports

BBG News

In recent times, movies and TV shows are increasingly integrating elements of competitive video gaming, making them an essential component within the gaming world’s narrative.

I’ve found myself immersed in a realm that transcends mere games – it’s evolved into an all-encompassing culture. From the small screen to the big, animation, live-action, and more have swept across the globe, leaving no one untouched, whether their quality be praiseworthy or debatable. Shows like Arcane and The Witcher, or game adaptations such as Fallout and The Last of Us, have significantly expanded the narrative scope within the gaming world, giving rise to a surge in story-driven movies and series.

On the flip side, there’s another category to consider: narratives revolving around esports. Unlike documentaries like Free to Play or True Sight, these productions present esports in a fictional light. Here is a selection of movies and series that can be as captivating as the games themselves, delving into various aspects of esports.
