In a new report by Newzoo, the South African video game industry has been put under the spotlight revealing some interesting stats. The report comes thanks to GamesIndustry.biz’s week-long focus on the South African video game industry which forms part of the site’s South Africa Games Week coverage.
According to the report, South Africa is home to 26.5 million gamers. While that number might seem high, 85% of players are mobile gamers while 15% make up console and PC numbers. South Africans spend an average of $25.50 (R480) on games per year which again, aligns with the mobile gaming demographic. Most of this spend is through in-game purchases across mobile games including Fortnite.
