Saudi Arabia’s game market revenues rose 15 percent year-on-year (YoY) in the first half of 2018 to $756 million, putting the Kingdom among the world’s top 20 revenue making countries from that growing sector, several reports showed.

 

The size of the global gaming market reached more than $90 billion per year, especially after the entrance of smart phone gaming.

 

A report issued by Newzoo Gaming for 2018 showed that 46 percent of the Middle East’s population plays games on their mobile phones, while 88 percent of Saudi millennials (born after 1981) are interested in electronic games.

 

Over 90 percent of Gulf millennials are smart phone users, the report said.

 

As a result, the Honor Play Mobile (also known as the gaming beast) was launched in cooperation with Asphalt 9 and PUBG Mobile, to be dedicated primarily to gaming.

 

The device, which has record speed, performance and intelligence, is offered at a competitive price to offer an amazing gaming experience that overcomes common gaming problems.
