It consists of three titles: sports simulation NBA 2K for console, first-person tactical hero shooter Valorant for PC, and multiplayer online battle arena Mobile Legends: Bang Bang for mobile. The competition is currently only an exhibition sport or formally a special event; thus, it has no bearing on the overall standing.

In its first competition, all eight UAAP member-schools joined.

Notes

1. Eryx Delos Reyes (UST A) won the bronze medal match over fellow Teletiger, Daemiel Argame (UST B). The match featured athletes from the same school due to the tournament's double group format.
2. A bronze medal match was supposed to be held for all tournaments in Season 87. However, due to technical issues during the tournament that led to a one day delay from match suspensions, the UAAP board decided to forego the third place game and award both semifinalists.^[3]
