Research: In 2024, Far Eastern gaming studios earned 20 times more than they did three years earlier
Game developers are increasing their revenue faster than all other representatives of the creative industry in the Far Eastern Federal District. This conclusion was reached by researchers from the "Eastern Center for State Planning" (also known as "Vostokgosplan").

According to estimates by "Vostokgosplan", last year the total revenue of game studios in the Far East amounted to 6.7 million rubles. This is an increase of 1978.6% compared to 2021.
Nevertheless, the amount earned by developers is a drop in the ocean compared to the revenue of the entire Far Eastern creative industry, which totaled 55.5 billion rubles by the end of 2024. Consequently, game studios generated only 0.01% of the total income. Let's recall that, according to the decree of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, in addition to games, the segments of this industry include software, film, fashion, architecture, handicrafts, and 10 other types of creative activities.
The report from "Vostokgosplan" does not specify how much individual game studios earned.
