The gaming industry across the globe continues to grow exponentially, especially in Asia-Pacific, where statistics have shown that it has dominated the global video game market for years. In 2015, revenue from the game market amounted to 43.1 billion U.S dollars, which is almost double the North American revenue. However, it's not just about chasing numbers; it's about creating an environment where innovation and creativity can flourish. Malaysia is taking bold strides to become a global gaming hub, and its progress is turning heads worldwide.

Malaysia's Rise in the ASEAN Market

Malaysia has emerged as a rising star in the ASEAN gaming market in recent years. Global gaming companies have noticed and are setting foot in the country, eager to be part of its success story. This surge of interest is driven by Malaysia's strategic location, a talented pool of professionals, and the government's unwavering support for the gaming industry.

The Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC), the country's leading government agency in advancing the digital economy, has played a pivotal role in fostering this transformation. MDEC's ambitious metaverse initiative isn't just a foray into the metaverse sector; it represents a commitment to fostering digital creativity on a grand scale. Their vision extends beyond the ordinary, aiming to position Malaysia as a global gaming hub capable of attracting international game studios and investments, fueling the nation's digital growth.
