The updated platform is expected to not only include streaming access to games, but also user-generated content that will make it similar to YouTube and TikTok. The reboot is scheduled for the fall of 2023.
It is known that MTS is also considering the possibility of rebranding. The cost of rebooting can be about 1.5-2 billion rubles.
Recall that WASD was launched by MTS as a platform for the development of gaming solutions, professional eSports and multimedia content. However, the service has struggled to gain momentum, and visitor numbers have dropped significantly over the past year.
According to Similar Web, the number of visits to WASD.tv in February 2023 was only 1.3 million, which is twice less than in January 2023.
