Key Findings
Mobile-First, But Not Mobile-Only
While mobile dominates revenue, Vietnam’s unique internet café culture keeps PC gaming relevant — a dynamic not seen in other SEA markets.
Esports Goes Mainstream
Vietnam’s esports viewership rivals traditional sports. Major brands are entering as sponsors, and government policy is increasingly supportive.
Local Publishers Rising
Vietnamese studios generated 9.6 billion downloads in 2024 — #1 globally. iKame Global is top 7 worldwide by downloads. NCSOFT acquired Indygo Group for USD 103.8 million in Q4 2025.
Regulation Tightening
Decree 147/2024 bans casino-style games, mandates phone verification, and gives regulators authority to remove unlicensed titles. 85% of app store games are currently unlicensed. Foreign publishers must establish local entities or exit. Following China’s playbook — a critical factor for market entry strategy.
Social Gaming Phenomenon
Gaming content creation on TikTok and YouTube is driving discovery and engagement in ways unique to Vietnam’s digital ecosystem.
$817M+ and Growing Fast
At 9.39% CAGR, Vietnam’s gaming market is outpacing the broader SEA region, fueled by 84–85% smartphone penetration, 5G at 90% population coverage, and export revenue projected to exceed USD 430 million in 2025.
