According to a report, young people in China have reduced their reliance on video games. The China Game Industry Group Committee, which is affiliated with the gaming regulator, makes the claim. And it may raise sense of hope that officials, who once referred to video games as "divine opium," will relax the country's strict gaming restrictions. Children have been prohibited from gaming for even more than three hours per week since August 2021.

The gaming industry was also hit by a halt in official approvals for new games. It was part of a broader crackdown by Chinese authorities on the country's massive technology sector, which includes titans like Tencent, one of the world's largest video-game companies According to the report, which was co-authored by data provider CNG, 75% of young gamers now play for less than three hours per week. It claims that Chinese game companies, such as Tencent, have accomplished "remarkable results." According to Asian games market experts Niko Partners, the report's backdrop was declining revenues in China. However, founder Lisa Cosmas Hanson predicted a brighter future, citing "momentum in the economy, esports, PC gaming, and excitement among China's 700 million-plus gamers." "With the reboot of game approvals and local adjustments to youth regulations, we are seeing a more optimistic outlook develop," she added.
