VNG's partnership with Roblox signals a major move in Vietnam's burgeoning gaming industry, further highlighted by VNGGames' shared win at the prestigious Vietnam Game Awards.
According to figures from App Annie Intelligence, Vietnam holds the second-highest market share in Southeast Asia in terms of downloading games on mobile applications, accounting for 22 per cent, after Indonesia’s 38 per cent. Constant growth in its online population along with better internet infrastructure may well see Vietnam become the next gaming “capital” of the region.
In addition to providing entertainment, games based on blockchain technology can also help players earn money. The gaming industry is already a billion-dollar business, but compared to the traditional games industry, blockchain games are quite a new concept in Vietnam. The steps and results of blockchain games in the country are considered to be pioneering compared to many other countries.
