Introduction

This guide provides PlayVS specifications and inclusion lists for each esports title. Please connect with your school IT department for support on these technical specifications.

Additional Resources

If you are looking for our email inclusion list, visit Receiving PlayVS Emails. If you need to download the games, check out our Game Title Overview. We also have a full guide for how to Setup Your Esports Lab!

When a player disconnects from any title that doesn't have a reconnect functionality, they will lose that round. Coaches are permitted to mutually decide on a replay/reset, however, the ruling stands if one coach objects.

Give the following information to your IT manager. They will use this inclusion list to unblock all of the following game-specific IPs and ports.
