Video games in Latin America

Video games in Latin America[a][b] 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.[1] In 2016, the market had already overtaken those in music, magazines and radio.[1]

As of 2022, there were 316 million gamers in Latin America.[2] With the Latin American game market being worth $8.4 billion in 2022,[2] 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.[2]
