This guide provides PlayVS specifications and inclusion lists for each esports title. It is organized alphabetically listing the specs first. Please connect with your school IT department for support on these technical specifications.
Important: 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.
Tip: 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 here!
