Video gaming has evolved into one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-growing industries, combining technology, creativity, digital infrastructure and global business expansion.
Today, video gaming companies are not only shaping the future of entertainment, but also driving innovation in areas such as AI, immersive experiences, platform development, community building and digital economies.
Over the past decade, the video game sector has become one of the most dynamic in the island’s economy, with Cyprus-based studios generating $1.1 billion in revenue from players around the world in 2024 alone. Thanks to its competitive business environment and attractive quality of life, Cyprus has become an increasingly popular destination for international game development studios, publishers and technology professionals.
The sector’s growth has been driven primarily by foreign investment and the relocation of established gaming companies seeking access to the European market. Today, Cyprus hosts a diverse ecosystem of game developers, mobile gaming studios, support services and technology providers, with game companies currently numbering over 300. They develop and market a wide range of products, from mobile and social games to large-scale online and live-service titles enjoyed by millions of players worldwide, with most locally based game companies operating internationally and generating revenue from players across the globe.
In this comprehensive special feature, CBN showcases a select, carefully-curated group of leading video gaming companies with a presence in Cyprus and beyond, highlighting their vision, technological capabilities, growth strategies and international footprint.
The feature aims to present the organisations that stand out for their contribution to the video gaming industry through innovation, scalability, talent development and strong business performance, while showcasing their innovation, technology and global growth.
