The mobile game analytics software development kit is now available for Huawei developers

GameAnalytics, a company that collects, stores, and analyses performance data for mobile games, has joined the Huawei Ecosystem as the latest platform partner. The SDK (Software Development Kit) is now available to Huawei mobile game developers for easy integration.

“The reach of Huawei’s platform, alongside our analytics, game ops, and ad revenue reporting tools make for a great combination, and greatly simplify the work developers need to do in order to be successful with this new, exciting channel,” said Ioana Hreninciuc, CEO at GameAnalytics.

Bringing GameAnalytics to Huawei Mobile Game Developers

As an industry-leading analytics company for mobile games, GameAnalytics empowers developers, helping them to build more engaging user experiences through a strong understanding of their game’s core metrics. GameAnalytics provides critical insights to help developers tap into the potential of their mobile games through collecting, analysing, and presenting game performance data. This includes everything from basic metrics (such as active users, retention, and playtime,) to more advanced analytics regarding ad revenue, virtual currency, and level progression.

The partnership brings mutual benefits to both parties; Huawei can continue growing its ecosystem with more platform partners and further support the success of its game developers. Simultaneously, GameAnalytics can leverage Huawei’s technological capabilities, enhancing its Android SDK to support OAID (Huawei Ads Kit) across all mobile devices. This enables HMS ecosystem game developers to integrate with the platform, to unlock deeper analysis and continue to grow their games.

Used by nearly 100,000 developers and over 63,000 studios worldwide, GameAnalytics supports around 100,000 active games, providing necessary data to help mobile developers achieve their growth goals. GameAnalytics can be easily integrated in less than 15 minutes, and its core analytics tool has and will continue to remain free.

Platform Partnership Overview

Huawei aims to create an open and safe environment for all developers and partners in its Ecosystem. With these values, Huawei looks forward to helping its developers gain useful insights for their mobile games through its partnership with GameAnalytics, as well as helping GameAnalytics achieve success through Huawei’s global network. Huawei and GameAnalytics have now introduced free analytics to over 2.3 million developers worldwide, making the game development community inclusive and accessible for all.

“Huawei’s app marketplace, AppGallery, is extensive and growing every day. For our community of game developers, this new channel can be an additional source of players and revenue, which can propel their existing portfolio of games to a new level of profitability,” said Hreninciuc.

CSMG will create and operate College Street FighterTM Tour in North America for the 2024-25 academic year
College conference Street Fighter 6 champions will punch their ticket to the national Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) & May Madness in 2025

Collegiate Sports Management Group (CSMG) announced today during the kick-off of its Collegiate Esports Commissioner’s Cup (CECC) Texas presented by McDonald’s that it has joined forces with Capcom to launch the College Street FighterTM Tour during its 2024-25 academic year with the finalists competing at CECC Texas in 2025 throughout its May Madness event. Street FighterTM 6 will join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Overwatch 2®, Rocket League, and VALORANT as part of the official game titles for CECC.

“We are immensely excited to welcome Capcom into the CECC family and provide a path to glory for student athletes to showcase their skills in Street Fighter 6,” said Michael Schreck, Chief Executive Officer for CSMG. “In our fourth year of building May Madness, we continue to listen to our players, coaches and fans on how to make our event more inclusive, and the partnership with Street Fighter 6 is a resounding success.”

“The Street Fighter franchise is a multi-generational and global game series, so it’s important for us to continue to grow that fandom at the collegiate level,” said Michael Larson, Head of Esports at Capcom USA. “CECC continues to set the standard for competition and community, so it’s a natural format for expansion, and we’re eager for College Street Fighter Tour competitors across North America to show off their skills and join us in Texas next year.”

”The vision for the College Street Fighter Tour is a publisher backed esports series that integrates into the existing infrastructure of The Collegiate Esports Commissioners Cup, a bracket style event series that takes place every year and has been coined May Madness. The path to championship includes invitational bids to national and regional level conferences as well as official CECC qualifiers held regionally,” said Angela Bernhard Thomas, Chief Esports Officer for CSMG’s ESPORTSU.

Every college or university from a 2-year or 4-year institution can participate through their conference or through select qualifiers. Wim Stocks will serve as the Commissioner of the College Street Fighter Tour and bring his 20 years of experience in college esports to create a dynamic and engaging format of competitive gaming.

“Since the launch of Street Fighter 6 in June of ’23, it is clear the rich legacy of Street Fighter is stronger than ever and helping lift the fighting game community to still greater heights,” said Stocks. “Having a structure now for a national collegiate competitive series, league, and events, Capcom and ESPORTSU are building a phenomenal ecosystem and mechanism for developing up and coming Street Fighter 6 competitors.”

More details on the College Street Fighter Tour will be shared later this year.

CSMG welcomes 84 teams (up from 64 in 2023) this weekend from a record breaking 19 conference champions to the largest scholastic esports festival globally. They will compete at Esports Stadium Arlington on May 3-5 for the chance to hoist one of the coveted trophies. Fans can watch the CECC Texas on ESPORTSU’s Twitch channel at https://www.twitch.tv/esportsu.

CECC Texas 2023 was also recently awarded LAN Event of the Year during the inaugural Scholars Awards in Las Vegas, which are produced in partnership with the Esports Awards.
