Gamers in Africa have more than doubled in recent years thanks to faster internet speeds and cheaper equipment. Poor infrastructure and low connectivity have held gaming back on the continent for a long time. However, these changes have opened up Africa to become a hub for the industry.
“We’ve got a lot of those publishers who are coming here and they want African-made content and so there’s a huge opportunity,” said Nick Hall, Co-Organizer for Africa Games Week, which took place in Cape Town earlier this year. “Now is kind of the best time really to be making games or trying to get into the games industry because we’re hoping in the next few years we’re going to see a massive spike in growth.”
The market’s untapped potential is immense, with many expecting it to explode as the continent produces more content.
Until recently, gamers mostly came from the United States, Europe, and Japan. But, a shift is underway.
