How the Global South Is Reshaping Mobile Gaming Revenue

from Gaming Business with Fexingo: Studios, Publishers, and Interactive Entertainment Companies · host Fexingo

Episode 14 of Gaming Business with Fexingo zooms in on the fast-growing mobile gaming markets in Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Lucas and Luna break down how rising smartphone penetration and localised payment systems — from GCash in the Philippines to PIX in Brazil — are unlocking new revenue streams beyond the saturated Western markets. They examine specific numbers: Indonesia's mobile gaming market hit $2.4 billion in 2025, Brazil added 18 million new mobile gamers in two years, and African mobile gaming revenue grew 35% year-over-year in Q1 2026. They also discuss how local studios like Moonton and Garena have used community-driven esports to monetise in these regions. If you're wondering where the next billion dollars in gaming is coming from, this is the episode. #MobileGaming #GlobalSouth #EmergingMarkets #SoutheastAsia #LatinAmerica #Africa #GCash #PIX #Moonton #Garena #Esports #FreeToPlay #SmartphonePenetration #Business #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #GamingBusiness #Monetisation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
