Gamescom 2021: Where are the German video games?

Germany has the second-largest video games market in Europe, with 44.3 million players in 2018, after Russia. Customers in Germany invested EUR4.4 billion on video games over the course of 2018, a 9 percent year-on-year boost from 2017. The computer game market in Germany grew by 6 percent to EUR6.2 billion ($6.7 billion) in 2019. The annual Gamescom in Perfume is the globe's largest computer game expo by variety of attendees.

Also in Germany, the video game market is in the boom. Last year, approximately 8.7 billion euros were issued for gaming for this country. How much of it went to German developers and publishers?

According to the industry association Game, the proportion of German video games was merely 4.2 percent. This is a slight decline compared to 2019, where the proportion was 4.9 percent.

German video games on the Gamescom

Video games from Germany take only a small part of the market. On the Gamescom, one of the largest video game fairs in the world, was clearly watching: you have to look for a long time to find games from Germany.

Although job simulators are still successful continuous burners. Outside this special category - and a wide selection of small indie games - the German game landscape looked at the Gamescom this year but rather dried.

Andreas Scheuer promises greater promotion

The game industry should therefore be more promoted by politics. Andreas Scheuer, Federal Minister of Transport and Digital Infrastructure, has made appropriate announcements. During the political opening of GamesCom, scurious objectives declared ambitious goals: In the future, we also want to unlock internationally as a development location.

To this goal, the funding for the games industry should be strengthened. In the past year, the Federal Government started this initiative, which was 40 million approved today. This sum should increase continuously.

The digital infrastructure should also be improved - how exactly, remains open. This topic that drives many discussions in Germany because of the Corona Pandemic, was only destroyed by politicians during GamesCom.

Nevertheless, enhanced promotion is a positive sign for the industry. Already the first fruits can be harvested - the number of business start-ups has increased by 20 percent in the industry within a year by a total of 749 companies.
