Foreign Games Dominate Iran Android Market

Mobile games developed by foreign firms dominate Iranian Android market Cafe Bazaar and only 28% of video games published on the platform are made locally.
Researchers with Iran’s Digital Games Research Center (DIREC) studied 37,148 games published on Bazaar from which 1,145 have been installed more than 10,000 times each. The 1,145 games were downloaded over 92 million times from Cafe Bazaar.
In a report published on the center’s website (direc.ir), the games are categorized into three groups: locally developed, foreign and those developed by international studios which have been modified for the Iran market by local teams.
Some local firms dub or subtitle video games and publish them on platforms like Bazaar.
