China Approves 105 New Online Games, Proposes Curbs on Gaming

Broke On: Tuesday, 26 December 2023 China has approved 105 new online games, including Tencent's Counter War: Future and NetEase's Firefly Assault. The National Press and Publication Administration issued a statement on its WeChat social media account Monday stating that the approvals by the Game Working Committee of China Music and Digital Association were positive signals that support the prosperity and healthy development of the online game industry. In 2023, 1,075 game version numbers had been issued, of which 977 were domestically produced and 98 were imported. The domestic online games market exceeded 300 billion yuan ($42 billion) in revenue in 2023, with the number of people playing the games reaching 668 million. China has proposed online-gaming curbs, which led to a decline in the market cap of Tencent by $46 billion. The measures include limiting users' in-game spending and eliminating incentives that can get people hooked on games. This has caused Chinese gaming shares to dive. The new rules reflected Beijing's concerns about user data.
