Its aim is to support the electronic gaming sector by improving the quality of communication networks for gamers, and through offering initiatives, reports, and quality awards focused on enhancing the quality of service providers.

Outcomes of the initiatives

The initiative aims to achieve several outcomes to support the electronic gaming sector, including issuing quarterly reports that compare response times between telecom companies for the most popular electronic games in the Kingdom. Additionally, it offers the Platinum Game Operator Award, a quarterly award launched with each report and presented to the best-performing service providers.

The initiative's objectives

It aims to support the electronic gaming sector and enhance competitiveness among service providers to improve the quality of gaming performance. It also seeks to increase transparency in the sector by involving the gaming community in defining the fundamentals for developing the gaming sector and by enabling interested parties and investors to access the results of data and indicators of service providers in the Kingdom.

The initiative's reports

Game Mode reports are one of the outputs of the initiative bearing the same name. These quarterly reports compare the response times of telecommunications service providers for the most popular electronic games in the Kingdom. The reports also announce the Platinum Game Operator Award for electronic games, presented to the best-performing providers, with the criteria for the award mentioned. Additionally, the reports include various statistics related to the gaming sector, such as an inventory of the main gaming platforms, indicators of the most popular games among the gaming community, and the percentage of improvement in game performance and speed compared to previous reports. They also offer guidelines for improving internet connectivity for gaming and suggest methods to measure its quality through various tools and applications, including the fixed internet measurement device.
