Promoting Vietnamese gaming industry to reach regional level

DNVN - Continuing to play a key role at Vietnam GameVerse 2025 as a strategic partner for the third consecutive year, VNG has brought a series of outstanding activities on the largest scale ever, from experience booths, eSports tournaments, international cooperation to connecting the digital content creation community.

Opening the Vietnam Game Forum on May 26, Mr. Le Quang Tu Do, Director of the Department of Radio, Television and Electronic Information, Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism shared: Vietnam Gameverse 2025 has witnessed many records, many firsts. For the first time, the scale of Vietnam Gameverse 2025 has expanded to more than 100 participating units and booths, double last year and 5 times more than the first season. For the first time, multinational corporations, large game companies such as Apple, Meta, Google, ROBLOX, Riot Games... all attended, worked with management agencies, exchanged and cooperated extensively with game businesses.

To achieve this success, for the first time, 5 game universes have converged: the State, publishers, developers, investors and schools have joined hands to develop the Vietnamese game industry. All these records show that Vietnam Gameverse has become a regional event and Vietnam has become a new destination for the world in the game field. Surely the dream of being on par with ChinaJoy and G-Star will not be far away, hopefully it will become a reality in 5 years.

As a strategic sponsor of the event for 3 consecutive years, Mr. La Xuan Thang - Director of Online Game Publishing VNGGames emphasized: “After 3 years of organization, GameVerse is not only a festival of the Vietnamese gaming industry but has become an important bridge between developers, publishers and the gaming community. We expect GameVerse 2025 to continue to inspire the younger generation, open up more cooperation opportunities and bring the Vietnamese gaming industry further on the regional map. As a companion enterprise from the early days, VNG is committed to continuing to contribute with quality products, diverse connection activities and supporting the community to develop sustainably”.

Specifically, VNG brings to GameVerse 2025 seven experience booths with outstanding games such as Vo Lam Truyen Ky, Lineage2M, MU Luc Dia VNG, VALORANT, League of Legends, Truth Arena, Play Together VNG... Exchange activities, showmatch competitions with the D'Xavier team - the current champion of PUBG Mobile Southeast Asia - and famous streamers promise to create a vibrant atmosphere. In addition, Zalopay participates with the pop-up store "Fun Store", combining online and real-life experiences for gamers. Last year, VNG's booths attracted nearly 10,000 visitors and experiences.

As a strategic partner of Riot Games, VNG plays a central role in the professionalization of eSports in Vietnam, from operating the Vietnam Championship Series (VCS) tournament system to supporting players in international competitions. VNG's systematic training ecosystem aims to turn eSports into a high-performance sport, opening up many new career opportunities: from players, coaches to casters, content producers and event organizers.

eSports is growing strongly, going beyond the framework of a form of entertainment to become a global industry with millions of followers and billions of dollars in revenue, officially recognized in major sporting events such as the SEA Games or Asian Games.

At the Vietnam Game Forum, Ms. Laura Li, Director of eSports in the Asia-Pacific region of Riot Games, stated that eSports is not only a starting point for passion, but also a serious career foundation, helping young people practice teamwork skills, strategic thinking and adaptability in a competitive environment. She emphasized the potential of eSports tourism - when major tournaments attract thousands of international spectators to host cities, creating a ripple effect on the economy, culture and community.

Ms. Laura also highly appreciated the cooperation model with VNG in the domestic market: “Vietnam is becoming a dynamic eSports center of the region. Names like GAM, Team Secret Whales or Crazyguy are regularly participating in international tournaments. Behind that development is the companionship from VNG - a partner who helps us maintain global standards but still be flexible according to local identity. From organizing VCS to Viewing Party Worlds 2024, VNG has shown its ability to connect the community and create real influence. Not only deeply understanding the market, VNG accompanies us with a common vision, common commitment and common success in developing sustainable eSports in Vietnam”.

At GameVerse 2025, VNGGames collaborated with Roblox to organize the workshop “Roblox: An Immersive Platform for Innovation” to connect individual developers, game studios and brands in Vietnam with representatives from Roblox - a creative platform with more than 97 million daily active users.

Roblox is emerging as a powerful channel for game development and publishing. In the past 12 months alone, Roblox has paid out more than $803 million to global developers, up 15% from the previous year. The top 10 developers earned an average of $30 million per year – five times more than in 2019.

According to Mr. Gong Chen, Solution Development Manager on Roblox, the difference of this platform is the ability to empower creativity for everyone - even those without programming background: "Not just for entertainment, Roblox is an open platform for all types of content: media, shopping, entertainment, education,.... We set out the vision of 'Redefining how a billion people connect' in a positive and civilized way. On Roblox, anyone can create anything, anywhere."
