Are Video Games Made in China? It's a Global Industry

It's inaccurate to say video games are "made in China." Development and production are global:

Development

• Global teams: Studios worldwide (US, Europe, Japan, Canada, China, etc.) collaborate
• Chinese developers: Tencent, NetEase, miHoYo create global hits (LoL, PUBG Mobile, Genshin Impact)
• Outsourcing: Art, audio, QA often outsourced to Chinese studios

Production (Physical)

• Manufacturing: Discs, cartridges, consoles largely made in China due to infrastructure
• Distribution: China is a massive market; physical copies distributed there

Summary

• China is a major player—development, publishing, manufacturing—but not the sole source
• Chinese studios now create world-leading games
• "Made in China" oversimplifies a complex, global industry
