In 2023, video games in China exhibited a strong rebound, with a double-digit growth rate in current value terms. This resurgence can be attributed to several key factors. First, the normalisation of new game licenses in 2023 injected new vitality into the category, removing the setback caused by restricted approvals in the latter half of the previous year. Second, with the full lifting of the pandemic lockdown policy in 2023, people’s lives and work gradually returned to normal.
