Saudi Arabia’s Qiddiya has taken sole ownership of EVO, the marquee fighting game tournament, in a development revealed with little fanfare. The move follows a period of shifting stakes, including a rescue by Sony and RTS several years ago and a later sale of Sony’s share to India’s NODWIN Gaming late last year.

  • Qiddiya is now the full owner of EVO, consolidating control of the high-profile fighting game event.
  • EVO has previously been stabilized by a partnership involving Sony and RTS after facing uncertainty.
  • Sony divested its remaining interest to NODWIN Gaming toward the end of the prior year.
  • The change in ownership completes a recent string of transactions that have reshaped EVO’s backers and corporate structure.
