South Africa’s biggest gaming tournament is back. The 2025 MTN SHIFT Gaming Experience brings in-centre activations, and serious prize money to malls across the country. This year’s edition raises the stakes with the return of the EAFC 25™ National Football Tournament and the debut of the MTN Beat Saber Challenge – two national titles, one massive celebration of gaming culture.
The Beat Saber Challenge, hosted by MTN and playable both in-mall and on MTN’s Battle+ platform, brings a high-energy VR experience into the mix. Players with the highest Beat Saber score qualify for the National Final and win a Woodlands R1000 Gift Card.
The top 8 players from around the country play for the ultimate prize - a Gaming PC valued at R50000 - in the National Final at Canal Walk on 20 September 2025
Beat Saber is a VR rhythm game where you slash the beats of adrenaline-pumping music as they fly towards you, surrounded by a futuristic world.
Beat Saber can be played on Batte +, MTN’s esport platform, where you can watch exclusive videos and play tournaments or compete in challenges to earn rewards. Battle + is available on play.mtn for all MTN subscribers.
