Mobile gaming is a global billion dollar industry. Its meteoric rise is fueled by growing ad revenues, an increase in gamer participation from a diverse demographic, and investment from non-gaming giants from entertainment and other industries. At the same time, the advent of technologies like 5G and increased cloud capabilities are expanding mobile game appeal and accessibility.
The next step? Launching abroad. Publishers are capitalizing on these trends by expanding their reach into new, lucrative markets. But finding success means overcoming some at-home market hurdles like foreign government regulations, the risk of market saturation and competition, and the spectre of slow sales. Such hurdles can make the leap to cross-border success intimidating — but there's never been a better time to go global.
