Latest territory special will dive deeper into Latin America's biggest market, and the game-changing legal framework about to redefine the industry's future
GamesIndustry.biz will kick off its latest territory special on Monday, this time taking a deeper look at Brazil.
Earlier this year, we spoke to a number of trade bodies, developers, and a São Paulo government minister about the challenges and opportunites facing games companies in Latin America's largest nation.
We also discussed the new legal framework with various experts, exploring why this is "game-changing" moment for the Brazilian games industry and how it will unlock new investment and growth.
Finally, we scoured through reports on the audience, developer landscape, spending, and preferred platforms for the Brazilian games market.
Companies we spoke to include Abragames, Apex Brazil, Kokku, Behold Studios, Hermit Crab, Arvore Immersive Entertainment, Indie Hero, and more.
Most recently, we talked to handful of indie devs about what X’s ban in the country mean for them, and how it’s imacting the games industry in the country.
