Chinese Game Developers Lead in AI Adoption

China's gaming industry is at the forefront of AI integration, with around 60% of studios utilizing AI in various aspects of development, according to a 2025 report from Niko Partners. This contrasts sharply with the West, where many studios are hesitant or resistant to adopting AI technology. Significant players like miHoYo, NetEase, and Tencent are already implementing AI to streamline workflows, from asset creation to customer service. The Pocket Gamer Connects Summit in Shanghai on July 29, 2026, will highlight these advancements, connecting industry leaders and offering insights into leveraging AI for growth and innovation in the booming Chinese market.
