Rolling Stone Relaunches Gaming Section with Saudi-Backed Partnership

The new RS Gaming vertical aims to explore gaming culture and community, amid concerns over its funding sources.

Rolling Stone's RS Gaming will cover the gaming world with a focus on art, technology, and cultural impact.
The initiative is a partnership with ESL FACEIT Group, owned by Saudi Arabia's Savvy Games Group.
Savvy Games Group is funded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, linked to human rights controversies.
Rolling Stone previously launched and closed a gaming site, Glixel, in 2017.
The new section promises in-depth stories on gaming communities, developers, and industry trends.
