How Tencent's Gaming Empire is Structured: All Assets and Subsidiary Studios of the Chinese Giant
The Chinese giant has spread its roots worldwide—from New Zealand to Canada. Today, we will delve into the company's internal divisions, external subsidiaries, and minority stakes in other studios.
The scale and global nature of Tencent's gaming business are astonishing. The company boasts nearly 40 of its own offices. Add about 20 subsidiaries like Riot Games and another three dozen assets with minority stakes, and the picture is impressive.
Tencent's presence is evident in many hits across PC, consoles, and mobile devices—from Fortnite and Subway Surfers to Crusader Kings, Episode, and Japanese visual novels.
However, considering Tencent's habit of making non-public investments and sometimes not announcing its involvement in certain projects, even today's detailed article will likely not cover the entire gaming empire of the Chinese company.
Nonetheless, our aim is not to list all legal entities and connect them with threads on a board. We will, however, strive to clearly and accurately describe Tencent's gaming business structure and the company's main assets worldwide.
