CEO has its place on not only the Tekken World Tour as a Master Event for Tekken 8, but also the Arc World Tour as a Gold Event for Guilty Gear Strive and Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising as well as the Dragon Ball FighterZ World Tour. On top of this, the event will hold two qualifying spots each for Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8 for the Esports World Cup happening in Riyadh later this year.

Tekken 8 leads the entrant numbers with around 640 players, followed closely by Street Fighter 6 which sits at about 615 registrants. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is next in line with over 400 participants and after that is Guilty Gear Strive which comes in just short of 300 signups. Brawlhalla nets over 200 registered people and Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, Super Smash Bros. Melee and Mortal Kombat 1 all crossed the 100 competitor mark.

Other games which will be on the main stage are Under Night In-Birth 2 [Sys:Celes], Street Fighter 3: 3rd Strike, Dragon Ball FighterZ, Super Street Fighter 2: Turbo, BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Capcom vs. SNK 2, Killer Instinct, King of Fighters 15, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2 and Melty Blood: Type Lumina, though there will be lots of side tournaments as well.

Streaming is being done at CEO Gaming, Tekken, Tampa Never Sleeps, VG Boot Camp, Juicy Game Night, Funky P, Brawlhalla and Tenomedia.
