Savvy Games Considers Striking Deals with Chinese Developers

Savvy Games Group, backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, is considering partnership opportunities in China or other Asian markets. In a recent interview, its CEO Brian Ward shared that the present geopolitical tensions between China and the US make it easier for Savvy to collaborate with Chinese developers.

These tensions, according to Ward, hinder large Chinese companies from concluding deals in the US, and American developers also might find it difficult to develop their business relations in the Chinese market.

Ward noted that there's a "great deal of development talent in China." He added: "We think for the right teams we are significantly better placed than a lot of other competitors, American competitors to offer a home to Chinese developers." Saudi Arabia, Ward says, doesn't have that "regulatory or geopolitical burden," as the country is "not only geographically but kind of geopolitically in the middle," which makes it favorable for business development in Asia.

Brian Ward also shared Savvy's ambitious plans "to create the world's number one games and esports company." Now, the studio is the eighth-largest game publisher by net revenue.
