The adoption of this gaming has accelerated in recent years, driven by advancements in internet infrastructure, the proliferation of smart devices, and changing consumer preferences. One of the primary factors contributing to its widespread adoption is the increasing availability of high-speed internet, including 5G networks and fiber-optic connections. These technologies provide the low-latency, high-bandwidth connections necessary for seamless game streaming, making this gaming a practical option for millions of users.
The rise of subscription-based models has also played a pivotal role in driving adoption. These gaming offers a cost-effective alternative, unlike traditional gaming, which often requires significant upfront investments in hardware and software. Users can subscribe to platforms that provide access to hundreds of games for a monthly fee, appealing to budget-conscious consumers and those hesitant to commit to expensive consoles. This model has resonated particularly well with younger demographics, who value flexibility and instant access to content.
Saudi Arabia’s robust gaming ecosystem is rapidly expanding, driven by heavy government investment and a large, tech-savvy population. According to the International Trade Administration (ITA), 67% of Saudi Arabians - about 23.5 million people - are gaming enthusiasts, creating a ready consumer base for these gaming services. The country’s gaming expenditure is expected to grow from $959 million in 2020 to $6.8 billion by 2030. This surge is reinforced by the Public Investment Fund’s acquisition of over $3 billion shares of major American video game companies, signalling strong institutional support. As cloud gaming minimizes hardware dependency, it is well-positioned to flourish in a nation with high digital adoption and ambitious goals to become a global gaming hub under Vision 2030.
