Abstract
A system and method for facilitating a cross-game competitive event are disclosed. The cross-game competitive event may measure user performance in multiple online games during an event time period. For such measurement, the cross-game competitive event may be associated with an event metric. The event metric may correspond to gameplay metrics for users of the multiple online games. The value of the event metric may be determined for a given user based on aggregation of changes in the values of gameplay metrics in the multiple online games within the event time period. An award may be distributed to the given user based on the event metric value determined for the given user upon conclusion of the cross-game competitive event.
