AMD has signed partnerships with S8UL and Revenant Esports, extending its latest gaming and content creation hardware to both organizations. The move comes as India’s esports market continues to grow across competitive play, livestreaming, and creator-led communities.
Under the collaboration, AMD will equip both organizations with Ryzen AI 400 Series processor-based PCs, Ryzen 9000 Series processors, and Radeon RX 9000 Series graphics cards. The hardware will support players and creators across gaming, content production, streaming, and everyday workflows.
The announcement comes as S8UL prepares for the Esports World Cup (EWC) 2026. The organization currently competes across 18 titles worldwide and has already qualified for the tournament in Fortnite, Honor of Kings (HoK), and Chess. S8UL is also the first and only Indian esports organization selected for the Esports World Cup Club Partner Program (EWCCPP).
The tournament will run from July 6 to Aug 23, 2026. It is expected to bring together more than 2K players and 200 clubs for a $75 million USD prize pool.
S8UL’s co-founder and CEO, Animesh “Thug” Agarwal, noted that the team has always balanced competitive performance with content creation. He added that AMD’s technology will support both sides of that operation.
AMD Backs Rising Hybrid Model of Gaming and Content Ahead of EWC
AMD India’s Managing Director of Sales, Vinay Sinha, said the country’s gaming ecosystem is “expanding beyond competition,” with creators playing a bigger role in how communities connect and grow. He added that organizations like S8UL and Revenant Esports are helping drive that shift, with AMD looking to support their players and creators as they grow in India and abroad.
Meanwhile, Revenant Esports fields teams across BGMI, VALORANT, Pokémon Unite, Free Fire Max, HoK, and MOBA 5v5. Revenant Esports founder and CEO, Rohit Jagasia, pointed out that gaming organizations now engage audiences through competition, content, and livestreaming. He also called AMD a partner that understands the speed of that ecosystem.
The AMD partnership follows S8UL’s recent title sponsorship deal with Campa Energy for its EWC campaign. Together, the deals highlight growing commercial interest in India’s esports sector as competitive gaming and creator-driven communities continue to expand.
