Despite challenges such as limited institutional support, access to funding, and talent migration, local studios continue to develop globally competitive titles and attract international recognition. The Macedonian gaming ecosystem is built upon several key pillars: – Active game studios and startups such as Flex Games, IAbuzz, Yatzy, and Idea9studio; – Educational institutions and academies like M3DS Academy, offering specialized programs in game design and development; – Supportive organizations such as MAGDA and the Macedonian Esports Association, which foster professional growth and network building; – As well as events, Discord communities, and public initiatives that sustain and connect the local scene. On a global level, the gaming industry continues to grow significantly, reaching an estimated value of USD 475 billion in 2024. While mobile gaming constitutes the largest share of revenue, traditional platforms (PC and consoles) show steady growth, driven by new console generations and blockbuster releases. Innovations such as generative artificial intelligence and emerging monetization models are further shaping the global ecosystem, opening new opportunities for Macedonian companies and creators.
