A young industry that seeks its international consolidation

For the third consecutive time, a delegation of Chilean game development companies was present, supported by ProChile, the export promotion agency of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile, at “Big Festival”.

It is a dynamic growth sector, which currently comprises more than 70 companies that work mainly on their own intellectual property projects, but also for third parties.

According to preliminary reports by the Chilean Videogames Association, in 2020, the sector’s total sales reached US$ 5.9 million. 90% of this figure corresponds only to exports. This meant an increase over the previous year.

The consolidation of this industry is directly linked to its promotion at an international level.

For this reason, Big Festival is considered one of the most relevant fairs for this industry that develops mainly for PC, Cell Phones (Android/IOS), Consoles (XBOX (One, Series X/S), Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 & 5, PSvita, WiiU, 3Ds), web (HTML5, WebGL, Facebook) and augmented/virtual reality.
