Why Video Games Localization is Important
The advantage of localizing your game can be summarized with one answer: you will increase revenue. Obviously, here are more benefits that go for localizing any content, but video games in particular.
EXPANDING YOUR AUDIENCE
The video games localization industry around the world is large. And what’s every bit compelling is that this is only going to grow.
Gaming on PC has seen over 60 million monthly active users. What is important to recognize is that PC Gaming is the smallest, and slowest market which increasing only + 4% year over year, compared to 45% growth for mobile devices gaming applications.
If the smallest market has 67 million active users globally, that original number of 2.5 billion players around, on all platforms, gets to make a more sense in terms of importance.
INTRODUCE NEW REVENUE STREAMS
As you expand your audience, you will subsequently expand the opportunity for new revenue streams. Localizing is a remarkable way to maximize the potential of your game and business itself.
NewZoo also reported in 2017 that Asia Pacific reached a revenue of 51.2 billion US dollars, making them the largest gaming market in 2017. Now, the numbers get fat.
China in particular covers 41% of the video game market revenue worldwide. Gameindustry.biz also noted in 2016 that Europe covered the second-largest revenue generated by both Free-to-Play and Pay-to-Play MMO games, covering 17.8% of the shares worldwide
ADAPTING TO CULTURAL EXPECTATIONS OR LOCAL REGULATIONS
To expand effectively your audience, and open up new revenue channels, your content must resonate with users. Localizing your game adapts the experience to the cultural expectations and norms for the global audience.
Localization alters your brand to adapt your game to these cultural feelings and standards to resonate and capture players.
For example, in Thailand, games cannot show any smoking cigarettes, and in China, imagery of skeletons and sacred symbols are understood as insensitive.
The main focal point of game localization is to make the game feel culturally relevant. If we get it simply, things that make the game feel as if it weren’t made for that target audience will remove them from the positive experience, or for instance from the targeted app store. Sure, this will not expand your customer’s base.
Video Game Localization Is Your Key to Success in Targeting New Markets
Localization will enable your game’s community to blossom, with players all around the world taking part.
This means entirely new opportunities to grow and evolve your brand’s Intellectual Property, explore new ideas, and engage on a global level.
