About: Games Industry Africa

Games Industry Africa, founded in 2019 and led by Vic Bassey, serves as the central hub for news, analysis, and talent development within the continent’s gaming sector. The platform publishes regular reports, interviews, op‑eds and profiles that cover the breadth of African game studios and creators. Its stated objectives include spotlighting developers across Africa, providing a launchpad for emerging studio leaders to gain international visibility, compiling statistical data and industry insights, and nurturing a new generation of African game journalists.

The site offers multiple content streams—business news, general industry updates, profiles, resources, insights, events, and a micro‑funding initiative—alongside an awards program (GIAA). Partnerships with sponsors such as Bright Gambit, Newzoo and Appmagic support its operations. A newsletter subscription and social media sharing options encourage audience engagement, while a dedicated email address invites contributions and career opportunities.

Although the page does not disclose specific survey sizes or data sources, it positions itself as a repository of aggregated industry statistics and analysis. The geographic scope is continental, encompassing all African nations, with a temporal focus on current developments and future growth prospects. The organization’s mission is to elevate African game development onto the global stage, fostering both creative output and professional pathways for creators and reporters alike.
