According to IIDEA more than 200 companies are involved in game development in Italy, employing over 2,800professionals.
Italian developers predominantly focus on creating premium video games for consoles and PCs, and they are gaining global recognition for their ability to develop high-quality video games at an independent cost. As well as developing commercial game titles, Italian companies are skilled in B2B projects in fields such as tourism, health, and cultural heritage, as well as work-for-hire projects.
Italian game development companies continuously expand their talent pool through international remote recruitment. They have a proven track record of successful collaborations with leading global industry players and stand out for their innovative approach to reimagining established franchises and creating new genres. In some cases, they set benchmarks for the wider video game industry.
Italian video games are primarily export-oriented: 43% are aimed at the European market and 40% at North America, while the domestic market accounts for just 7% of production. Italian studios are also interested in expanding into Asian markets.
