This annual event will be back in 2021 and it is hoped that it will continue to increase exposure for local games to be known more widely by the Indonesian people and abroad…The Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy together with AGI has curated nearly 100 registered games, with 40 games have been selected from various game developers to be exhibited at this event.”

Through this program, it is hoped that Indonesian gamers can gain access and try local games.
