Riyadh - Sharikat Mubasher: The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), represented in the Center of Digital Entrepreneurship (CODE), concluded the second edition of the Saudi Game Champions program.

During Demo Day, participants showcased their MVPs to experts, publishers, and investors from the gaming industry, as well as those interested in developing e-games, as reported by the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).

The program saw participation from 20 studios, which developed 20 games, and 54 entrepreneurs, including 7 female entrepreneurs and 14 international participants.

Over six months, the program focused on supporting promising gaming studios in the Kingdom by providing necessary financing, co-working spaces, training, and mentorship by global experts.

The program also connected participants with potential investors and publishers, empowering them to develop sustainable products and enhancing their readiness for growth and expansion.

In September 2025, MCIT launched the second edition of the Saudi Game Champions program to cultivate Saudi Arabia’s growing video game industry, featuring the Game Jam and video game incubator program. The Game Jam event enabled entrepreneurs to showcase their skills, collaborate with other talented individuals, and gain valuable feedback on their game ideas. Meanwhile, the incubation program provided entrepreneurs with the resources, guidance, and funding needed to transform their projects into reality.
