This is a bold step for the social platform, which gained its initial popularity from viral videos about rural life in China. In recent years, it has experienced slower growth due to the lack of new revenue stimulators.

Kuaishou has held two Game for Peace Kuaishou International Invitational tournaments and the Kwai Legends Cup.

It has also invested in esports team KSG, a team for Honor of Kings competitions.
