DAVAO CITY — The fight is on as the Cyberzone Game Fest kicks off today, August 15, 2026, at SM City Davao’s Annex Event Center. The two-day gaming spectacle features back-to-back tournaments for Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8, drawing the region’s fighting game community together.
A Weekend of High-Level Competition
The event is part of SM Supermalls’ nationwide Tech & Play Month and marks the 10th Anniversary Edition of the Cyberzone Game Fest. Gamers from across Davao and beyond have gathered to test their skills on the big stage. The tournaments are completely free to enter and open for spectators to enjoy.
Day one, August 15, focuses on Street Fighter 6 with a ₱10,000 prize pool. The action starts at 2:00 PM, with check-in and onsite registration beginning earlier at 10:00 AM. Limited slots remain available online, but organizers encourage walk-in registration for any remaining spots.
Tekken 8 Takes the Spotlight Tomorrow
The excitement continues on August 16 with Tekken 8, which carries a ₱20,000 prize pool. The champion also earns a guaranteed ticket to Manila Madness, a major national esports tournament. This gives local Mindanao players a direct pathway to compete at a higher level.
Walk-in registration for Tekken 8 will be available on event day, starting at 10:00 AM. Slots will be assigned based on no-shows from pre-registered players, so aspiring competitors are encouraged to arrive early. The tournament itself begins at 1:00 PM.
A Coinciding Celebration with Kadayawan
The Cyberzone Game Fest aligns perfectly with Davao City’s vibrant Kadayawan Festival, creating an even more festive atmosphere. While road closures are active for festival events, all access roads leading directly to SM City Davao remain open. The mall has become a central hub for both cultural celebration and digital entertainment.
The partnership between SM Cyberzone and major sponsors like Predator Gaming and Smart Communications underscores the growing importance of esports in the region. The event provides a platform for grassroots talent to shine and connect with a passionate community.
