China’s Domestic Game Sales Hit RMB 31.63B in August, Up 8.08% YoY

The standout figure is not the domestic total but the overseas line: self-developed Chinese games earned more abroad, growing at more than double the domestic rate. That gap suggests Chinese studios are increasingly treating global markets, not the home market, as their growth engine, even as domestic mobile revenue keeps outpacing client games. The split also underscores how concentrated the domestic market remains in mobile. Whether the overseas growth rate continues to outstrip domestic momentum is the open question.
