In 2025, Latin America has become one of the fastest-growing centers for game development, fueled by rapid digitalization, regional tevitoto investment, and international collaboration.
Countries like Brazil, Mexico, and Chile now host thriving ecosystems of studios producing globally competitive titles. The success of Brazil’s Solar Punk City and Mexico’s Chronos Edge has proven that Latin American talent can rival established Western developers.
“The shift from outsourcing to full-scale creative production is monumental,” said economist Carla Mendez from LATAM Tech Watch.
Governments are playing a crucial role. Tax incentives and educational initiatives have led to a surge of gaming programs at universities, while improved broadband infrastructure supports remote collaboration.
Major publishers have noticed. Ubisoft and Epic Games recently opened studios in Bogotá and Buenos Aires, signaling long-term commitment to the region.
Cultural authenticity has become a major strength. Games rooted in Latin heritage — blending mythology, music, and folklore — are captivating global audiences seeking fresh narratives.
By 2027, Latin America is expected to represent 12% of global game exports, a figure once unthinkable a decade ago. The region’s creative voice is no longer emerging — it’s leading.
