PLG - Power League Gaming

Increase in gaming audiences in the MENA region! The gaming audience in the Middle East has seen a significant surge, with approximately 50% of the population now actively participating in gaming. This growth is particularly pronounced among younger demographics, including Millennials and Gen Z, who are deeply immersed in gaming culture. According to a report from the UAE Ministry of Economy, the number of gaming audiences in the region was 65 million in 2021. This figure is projected to grow to over 85.7 million by 2025. The expansion is driven by increasing interest in digital entertainment, advancements in gaming technology, and a growing community of players who are passionate about gaming as a form of social interaction and entertainment. This rapid increase highlights the region's expanding role as a major player in the global gaming industry.

In the Middle East, the female gaming sector is witnessing significant growth, with countries such as the #UAE and #Saudi Arabia leading the charge. Both nations are making substantial investments in the gaming industry, actively working to create a more inclusive environment for women. A noteworthy example of this progress is the “Game Changers” campaign, an innovative initiative by PLG - Power League Gaming in partnership with KFC. This campaign was strategically designed to highlight and elevate female gamers in Saudi Arabia. By offering an exclusive platform for women, the activation not only showcased their exceptional talent and passion but also underscored the potential they bring to the gaming industry. The campaign’s objectives extended beyond gaming; it focused on fostering a supportive ecosystem where female gamers are recognized, valued, and empowered. Such initiatives represent a significant advancement in the region’s gaming landscape, demonstrating the ongoing evolution of the Middle Eastern gaming community. As more brands and organizations align with this movement, we can anticipate a surge in opportunities and events dedicated to celebrating and supporting women in gaming. The industry is poised for exponential growth, with inclusivity at the forefront, signaling a promising future for gaming in the Middle East.
