This time, tencent did not receive any game approvals, but netease-S's imported game license for "Pro Evolution Soccer Online" is on the list.
According to the Zhitong Financial APP, Citigroup released a research report stating that the National Press and Publication Administration announced that in November, a total of 112 domestic and 7 imported online games were approved at the same time, marking the second time this year that both were approved together. Although the scale of domestic game approvals is roughly the same as before, the timing of imported game approvals was earlier than expected, deviating from the past pattern of approvals every two months. Additionally, tencent did not receive any game approvals this time, but netease-S's imported game license for "Pro Evolution Soccer Online" is on the list.
Citigroup stated that although the scale of this approval is relatively small, the frequency of imported game approvals is higher, which may indicate a healthier regulatory environment in the future, reflecting positive industry development. So far this year, a total of 1,282 games have been approved, of which 1,184 are domestic games and 98 are imported games. The bank is paying attention to whether china will grant other imported game licenses in December.
