Abstract: This study investigates the culture of gaming and its professionalization in Maricá, highlighting the evolution of video games from simple leisure activities to professional competitions, known as eSports. The objective is to analyze the importance of eSports for the local economy and their role in social inclusion. To achieve this, a qualitative-quantitative approach was adopted through a survey, which was conducted during the Maricá Games in order to capture participants' opinions on the impact of eSports events, with a special focus on the professional development of this sector in Maricá. The results demonstrated that eSports can serve as a driver for economic development and empowerment of youth in Maricá, with the expansion of a local gaming industry, formal and informal education, and public investment in spaces dedicated to such development being identified as pathways to creating a local job market that ensures opportunities for individual and collective economic development.
