Video games in Latin America
Video games in Latin America are a popular source of entertainment among young and middle-aged Latin Americans. The video game market in Latin America has been rapidly growing since the early 2010s, and it is one of fastest growing in the global market. In 2016, the market had already overtaken those in music, magazines and radio.
As of 2022, there were 316 million gamers in Latin America. With the Latin American game market being worth $8.4 billion in 2022, video games have become a widely dispersed, active hobby for many Latin Americans. Despite the growing populations of Latin America, their games market only represents 5% of the global market in 2022 – 1% ahead of the other emerging regions of the Middle East and Africa.
