Games Industry Africa

Games Industry Africa is a news and resource hub for African video game developers, and this second page of its archive captures a snapshot of the continent's industry activity in September 2026. The site, run by a small editorial team with sponsors including Raw Fury, Newzoo, AppMagic and Bright Gambit, covers business news, studio profiles, funding, jobs, an annual awards program (GIAA), and recurring industry research.

The featured stories span multiple regions and platforms. Lagos-based Inuv8 Studios joined Microsoft's ID@Xbox program, bringing its debut Project OVERRIDE to Xbox alongside Steam and PlayStation. Cape Town's Cozy Lives, mentored by Free Lives, saw its sewing simulator Dressmaker earn positive reviews and a place on Steam's global Top Sellers chart. Morocco's AJB Games Studio reached a "Very Positive" Steam rating for Martha's Dolls 2 after its September 1 launch. Johannesburg's Team Lazerbeam set a September 10 Early Access date for its roguelike deckbuilder Shroom and Gloom, while Tunisia's NewGen Studio released a trailer for co-op horror title Gone Digging. Cameroon's Noohkema Game Studios launched the Adinkra-inspired Android puzzler Orbix, and Nigerian solo developer Dooshima Games sought playtesters for After Round One after its selection for the DevGAMM Awards 2026.

Ecosystem-building efforts also feature prominently. Vetkoek Studios opened a two-week Roblox accelerator for unemployed or student creators aged 18 and over. Maliyo Games called for participants in the fifth annual Africa Game Developer Survey, which underpins its Africa Games Industry Report. Sea Monster Entertainment published State of Gaming in South Africa: 2026, arguing that gaming is now a mainstream media and marketing channel rather than a niche or youth-only medium.

Beyond the news feed, the page lists open roles at studios such as Maliyo Games, Nyamakop, Lanterns and Stolen Pad Studio. It also highlights the site's research archive, running from 2020 trend pieces through annual State of the African Games Industry reports, a 2026 edition published in February, a PC-focused 2025 edition, a mid-2025 update, developer resource kits on funding and publishing, and country reports.
