Data revealed by Abragames showed growth of 3.2%
Abragames (Brazilian Association of Digital Game Developers) presented a study that revealed a 3.2% growth in the total number of national stadiums, which went from 1,009, in 2021, to 1,042.
The good result is corroborated by the number of proprietary games developed between 2020 and 2022, which reached 2,600. Of these, 1,009 were launched in 2022 alone, 12% more than in 2021, the period covered in the first edition of the research. In relation to professionals in the segment, there was also an increase, this time of 6.3%, going from 12,441 to 13,225.
The growing maturity of the Brazilian industry is also evident in other sections of the research. Among them, it is worth highlighting that, in 2022, 93% of national stadiums developed their own intellectual property (IP).
From 2014 to now, Brazil went from 133 game development studios to 1,042, an increase of almost eight times. In the last five years alone, this same percentage grew by 177%, since in 2018 only 375 companies developed games in the country.
