Data & Insights
Game Developer Survey
The 2024 Africa Game Developer Survey saw a 42% increase in participation with 203 respondents, including 66 studios, 55 indie developers, 31 game studio employees, and 51 hobbyists and freelancers.
Our survey reveals that Nigeria (18), South Africa (14), and Kenya (12) have the highest concentration of game development studios in Africa.
A remarkable 92% of survey participants are under 34 years old. However, with only 12% female representation, there’s a clear need to foster greater inclusivity and diversity within the industry.
