Morocco's national strategy for developing the gaming industry aims to position the kingdom as Africa's video game hub. A key project is the Rabat Gaming City (RGC), a large-scale initiative to foster local talent and attract international investment.
However, the article notes that European regulations, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and digital services rules, could impact Moroccan companies targeting European markets. These regulations impose strict data protection and content moderation requirements.
As of June 2026, no specific timeline for RGC completion has been officially confirmed. The strategy also includes educational programs to train game developers and designers, though exact enrollment numbers are not publicly available.
Morocco's gaming market is growing, with increased mobile gaming adoption, but faces challenges like limited local content production and infrastructure gaps. The EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) may affect how Moroccan platforms operate in Europe.
