+Since March 2023, Luminosity has seen a larger presence in the ''Smash'' community, particularly in ''Ultimate''. They first signed several notable ''Ultimate'' players, namely {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, {{Sm|Big D}}, and {{Sm|Sonix}}. They also signed several prominent community members including TOs {{Sm|Max Ketchum}} and {{Sm|Toronto Joe}}, which extended to a partnership for their major tournament series Let's Make Moves, renamed to {{Trn|Luminosity Makes Moves}}. In addition, Luminosity also announced a partnership with the power ranking UltRank, renaming it to [[LumiRank]] in the process. Finally, Luminosity began a collaboration with [[Metafy]], named the LG x Metafy Free Agent Sponsorship, which aimed to temporarily sponsor top ''Ultimate'' free agents for one or a few majors.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://luminosity.gg/news/luminosity-gaming-and-metafy-unveil-game-changing-sponsorship-for-super-smash-bros-ultimate-free-agents|title=Luminosity Gaming And Metafy Unveil Game-Changing Sponsorship For Super Smash Bros Ultimate Free Agents}}</ref>
