Mobile gaming in Latin America - statistics & facts
Until a few years ago, playing video games demanded time, money, and special equipment, largely limiting this activity to those who could meet these standards. Mobile devices, particularly smartphones, have forever changed the gaming landscape, serving a decisive role in its democratization. In 2020, as many as 147 million people were estimated to be mobile gamers in Latin America. As both smartphones and mobile internet become more prevalent in the region, this figure is set to increase by almost 17 percent by 2025, accounting for nearly ten percent of global mobile gaming users.
