Recently, the final list of winners for the highest accolade in China’s game globalization— the “2023 China Game Global Expansion Award” organized by the Game United—was officially announced. Tanwan Game was awarded the title of “Top 10 Overseas Casual and Mini-Game Enterprises of 2023.”
According to publicly available data, in 2023, the actual revenue of Chinese self-developed games in overseas markets reached USD 16.366 billion. Despite the impact of the global economic cycle and intensifying competition in the gaming sector, the sales revenue of Chinese games abroad experienced only a slight decline. At the same time, in major gaming markets such as the United States, Japan, South Korea, Germany, and the United Kingdom, the number of Chinese-developed games continued to grow, with an increasing number of titles entering the upper ranks of overseas charts. This demonstrates that Chinese game publishers remain committed to cultivating international markets and persistently pursuing new opportunities.
Against this backdrop, the annual China Game Global Expansion Sail Award once again announced its final list. As a companion honor to the China Game Global Expansion White Paper published by the Game United, and as the highest distinction in the field of Chinese games going overseas, the award each year is determined by combining rankings, third-party data, and the opinions of the Game United’s expert panel. The award recognizes outstanding Chinese enterprises and products in the global gaming arena.
Games are a vital medium for cultural exchange in the new era and a key sector encouraged by national policy for global expansion. As a pioneer of China’s gaming industry going overseas, Tanwan Game has demonstrated profound expertise in overseas markets, excelling in the publishing and operation of mid-to-hardcore genres such as RPG, SLG, Tower Defense, Simulation, and MMO. The company has already published a variety of multilingual titles across Europe, North America, Japan, South Korea,Chinese Hong Kong-Macau-Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, while maintaining close cooperation with numerous international media and distribution channels to execute highly localized promotion and operations.
