šŸ“ Almost 2 Billion Game Installs During Q1 2025

Learn about Southeast Asiaā€™s mobile gaming market in Q1 2025, featuring key trends, revenue, popular genres, and country-specific data for Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.

Whatā€™s Going On Here?

Southeast Asia recorded nearly 2 billion mobile game installs in Q1 2025, making it the second-largest region globally by downloads, with modest revenue growth reaching $625 million. Countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines each showed varied performance in both downloads and spending, while local publishers gained global traction.

What Does This Mean?

Downloads are booming, especially in Indonesia (870M installs), but revenue remains relatively modest due to underrepresented direct-to-consumer payments. 4X strategy and MOBA games are driving in-app revenue, while genres like platformers, simulators, and arcade games dominate downloads. Localization, influencer partnerships, and adaptable content pipelines are proving essential to both game performance and publisher success.

Why Should I Care?

Southeast Asia is becoming a global growth hub for mobile gaming. For developers and publishers, this region presents major opportunitiesā€”especially for localization-first strategies and fast-execution studios. The success of Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Vietnamese publishers shows how regional focus can beat global giants. For global brands, tapping into SEAā€™s culturally attuned player base is no longer optionalā€”itā€™s critical.

āœļø Reviews of the Week

Step into an intense battlefield of a fast-paced FPS followed by a nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG in our two featured reviews:

Shatterline is an ambitious FPS that blends the intensity of roguelike PvE with fast-paced PvP, offering something unique for players looking for a fresh experience. While the game currently faces challenges, such as occasional bugs, cross-region latency, and a relatively small player base, itā€™s a hidden gem waiting to be discovered by more gamers.

MapleStory N truly feels like a blast from the past, bringing back the nostalgic charm of classic 2D MMORPG gameplay while weaving in modern web3 integration. Sure, there are some areas that could use improvements, like onboarding accessibility and loot collection mechanics, but the gameā€™s strengths shine through.
