The Savvy Gaming Group will invest $37.8 billion in gaming. The government-funded gaming conglomerate is clearly making a considerable effort to expand Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the gaming world.
This investment into gaming from Savvy will likely mean more than a few gaming studios and companies will be bought by the group. “Savvy Games Group is one part of our ambitious strategy aiming to make Saudi Arabia the ultimate global hub for the games and esports sector by 2030”. Clearly, both the Saudi Arabia government alongside Savvy are very serious about this investment into gaming.
The move is controversial as are many things the Saudis go into. With a record of human rights violations including suppression of its citizens and its support for the war in Yemen. Many people will always have something to say no matter what they do but it is something worth looking into yourself.
Regardless it seems Savvy will soon be a big part of the gaming world. We will keep a close eye on all the investments and acquisitions the group ends up making. While this investment into gaming will with no doubt affect the gaming world in the future, be sure to check out some of the Best Halloween Games 2022 for now!
