China digital gaming market revenues exceed 350 billion yuan in 2025

China's domestic digital gaming market experienced significant growth in 2025, with revenues exceeding 350 billion yuan (approximately 44.96 billion euros), representing a 7.68% annual increase. The number of digital game users in the country also rose by 1.35%, reaching a total of 683 million.

This industry expansion will be highlighted at the 16th China International Digital Publishing Exhibition, held from August 27 to 29 in Jinan, Shandong province. For the first time, the event will feature a dedicated section for digital and online games, focusing on the integration of modern technology with traditional Chinese culture.

The trend of blending technological innovation with cultural identity is exemplified by the international success of 'Black Myth: Wukong,' which utilized Chinese mythology and heritage within a modern digital environment. This approach is expected to be a central theme of the upcoming exhibition in Jinan.
