Is PC Game Development Profitable? Can I Rely on It as My Main Income?

Welcome! I'm Rami Al-Haj, a game developer.

بجاوب على السؤال “هل تطوير ألعاب الكمبيوتر مربح؟ وهل بامكاني الاعتماد عليه كمصدر دخل رئيسي؟”

The games industry was a $180.1 billion market in 2021, and its value grows every year. During the coronavirus pandemic, demand for computer and mobile games increased by $15 billion.

This means we can claim a share of this market with an income exceeding $100,000. This is not impossible; it may even be easy if we know how to reach that amount each year.

Bear in mind that mobile games account for 60% of this market.

The first important thing to understand is that persuading other people to pay you is not easy!

You should also understand that the aim of developing a game should not be to make money; instead, your goal should be to make the game enjoyable for its players and the profits will follow.

If you can develop a very enjoyable game, even a very simple one, it can become a game that a community or a large group of people finds addictive.

This type of game may earn up to $10,000 in its first year without any marketing, while advertising may increase that figure to $100,000 a year, regardless of the device it was developed for.

ما الاشياء التي تحتاج اليها لتصل الى هدفك “لعبة مسلية”؟

  • A game engine such as Unreal Engine.
  • Time.
  • Test your game with the people around you and refine it until they find it addictive.

It is important to understand that everyone with a mobile phone is a potential customer, and that you have an opportunity to earn substantial profits in this field.

One final tip: communicate with players professionally, as this will increase people's respect for your game.
