Video game revenue set to increase in MENA, game localization boom projected
Experts expect the combined revenue of video game markets in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to increase nearly twofold — from $1.76 billion in 2021 to $3.14 in 2025 — in the next three years. That’s likely to be big news for professionals working in the localization industry, especially given Saudi Arabia and the UAE’s policies encouraging game development and localization.
