As more investments keep trickling into Africa’s gaming industries, these numbers are expected to explode over the next few years. Ghana and Nigeria emerged second and third, respectively, while Kenya and Ethiopia took fourth and fifth place in the continent. As the numbers continue soaring, the gaming industry is gradually threatening to overtake the music and movies market in the country. South Africa has 24 million gamers and took the lead as the largest video game market in Africa. South Africa takes the lead in the gaming industry in AfricaĬarry1st, a South African gaming platform, and Newzoo, a games analytics company, show that the number of gamers in sub-Saharan Africa in 2021 was a solid 186 million. Andrew Kaggia, the founder of Black Division Games, said he hopes to follow it with analogous games set in several other African cities. Being one of the few African-made 3D games, Nairobi X was a hot topic across the continent.

Still, they are mostly famous for the Android first-person shooter, Nairobi X. Kenyan studio Black Division Games created an African-themed Flappy Bird-style game locally known as KukuSama, which left the locals in a buzz. Still, the challenge arises when it comes to identifying the genre that the people in Africa are more interested in. There are numerous types of games, including strategy games, scenario-based games, and arcade games. Obi noted that the small dataset made it tricky to categorically choose the right direction, which often left them guessing. Monetization is not the only setback the local gaming companies face.ĭue to inadequate data, the biggest challenge lies in figuring out the local preferences and tastes. Developers ought to put their games on several stores and Google play alternatives like the Opera Mobile Store to empower this model. However, the resistance against in-app spending due to the extensive credit card fraud discourages most Africans from using their credit cards online. The subscription-based model demands that the player pays before accessing the game for a given period. Instead, most developers earn through subscriptions. Most people have access to cheap Chinese Android phones with limited storage capacity and processing, which can’t handle more than ten simple games and in-app purchases are not prevalent. Although smartphone owners are rapidly increasing, feature phones are still in the lead. He asserts that the mobile ecosystem in North America is balanced differently from that in Africa. Hugo Obi, the co-founder of Maliyo Games, stated that the Nigerian studio is gradually shifting from Facebook and web games to Android. The mobile ecosystem in Africa’s gaming industry While this platform is most valuable, it limits your access to gambling, a factor that gets many gamers searching for casino sites not on gamstop. Gamstop is a reputable platform that restricts and limits a gamer’s access, through self-execution, to an online gambling site promoting responsible gambling. While it’s sometimes fun to get lost in the thrill of video games, gamers ought to know their limits and, at some point, need restrictions from their gambling sites. Undoubtedly, the number of young gamers in Africa has dramatically increased over the past five years, which shows that the gaming industry is progressing upward. The rising popularity and availability of multi-functional gaming consoles are vital in expanding the market of video games on the continent. The development of smartphones has made it easier for gaming fans to play their favorite video games whenever with most assets, languages, and even characters, mirroring African aspects. Only a handful were privileged enough to enjoy these alien creations in the comfort of their homes. The young enthusiasts would use personal computers and consoles, foreign creations, to experience the thrill of their favorite games. Not long ago, internet cafes, cyber joints, and gaming were typical hangouts for African gamers.
