GamesIndustry.biz is set to launch its newest feature focusing on Brazil from Monday.
In the initial months of this year, we engaged with several industry figures, including developers, trade associations, and a São Paulo official, to explore the hurdles and prospects for gaming enterprises in Brazil, the biggest market in Latin America.
An in-depth examination of the recently introduced legal framework was conducted with industry specialists, highlighting its transformative potential for Brazil's gaming industry by attracting investments and fostering expansion.
We delved into statistics around the audience demographics, developer environment, consumer spending, and popular gaming platforms within the Brazilian market.
Our conversations included interactions with organizations such as Abragames, Apex Brazil, and various companies like Kokku, Behold Studios, Hermit Crab, Arvore Immersive Entertainment, and Indie Hero.
In recent discussions, independent developers shared insights on how the ban on X impacts their work and the broader video game sector in Brazil.
