A new edition of a national gaming development program has launched in Riyadh, aiming to build Saudi talent in game development and strengthen digital entrepreneurship. Saudi Game Champions 3 was introduced by the Center of Digital Entrepreneurship (CODE) at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, in partnership with the National Technology Development Program (NTDP).
The program runs for six months and offers participants mentorship, development assistance, and hands-on training. Over the course of the program, participants work to turn game concepts into playable prototypes that can grow into full projects.
Eligibility is open to a broad range of people in the field, including developers, designers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in game development. A key part of the program is a three-day Game Jam held in Riyadh, where participants form teams and build game prototypes within a tight timeframe.
Why it matters
The initiative is designed to support digital entrepreneurship, encourage technological innovation, and grow the Kingdom's gaming ecosystem. These goals align with the broader objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, which places significant emphasis on the digital economy and creative industries.
For aspiring Saudi game makers, the program offers a structured path from idea to prototype, combined with professional guidance. No participation fee, prize amount, application deadline, exact venue, or confirmed registration channel has been stated in the available official information.
