PlayVS is proud to be the official scholastic partner of Nintendo with the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Splatoon 2 games joining our high school leagues starting this Fall season. You heard that right; Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Splatoon 2 are now officially recognized high school varsity athletics! 

With these two beloved games joining our roster, the competitive high school community just got bigger, better, and even more fun with Nintendo. Students from all over the country will be able to put their skills to the test in exciting league formats, team play, and more as the next season kicks off September 27th, 2021 — and we cannot wait for you to be a part of it!

As the premier provider for students in the ever-growing world of competitive gaming, PlayVS enables high school teams around the country to compete against each other through online matches and seasonal leagues. In this partnership with Nintendo, PlayVS becomes the home for high schoolers to compete in officially sanctioned Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Splatoon 2 leagues.

As part of the PlayVS and Nintendo partnership, we will provide a Nintendo Switch™ system to hundreds of select qualifying schools, and 3,000 select schools will receive either a Super Smash Bros.
