Games published by Vietnamese studios generated around US$315 million in revenue in 2024, according to GameGeek, a platform connecting Vietnam’s gaming ecosystem.

Vietnam’s gaming industry has taken a significant stride in 2024, with many important activities conducted by the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) in collaboration with game producers and distributors to guide the growth of the sector.

The game industry in Vietnam has recorded strong progress recently, and authorities are moving to tap into its substantial potential.

With the emergence of university-level courses focusing solely on the gaming industry in recent years, Vietnam is looking forward to a growth boost in the industry for digital economy development in the near future.

Amanotes, the renowned mobile game publisher, is the only Vietnamese representative to clinch the prestigious title of Best Music Game Publisher at the highly acclaimed Sensor Tower APAC Awards 2023, reaffirming the company’s global impact and leadership role in the mobile gaming industry.

The gaming industry, unable to buy foreign games to distribute domestically because foreign partners are allowed to distribute games in Vietnam, does not expect a bright future.

Head of the Authority of Broadcasting and Electronic Information Le Quang Tu Do has called on Vietnamese game firms to join hands to create breakthroughs in the game industry.

The aim is to help Vietnam’s game industry rid itself of prejudice about its harm to people, and serve as a ‘touching point’ for game firms to reach out to the global market.
