The United Arab Emirates, with Dubai at the helm, may rank third in MENA gaming investment today—but it’s making some big bets and playing to win. Backed by visionary leadership, heavyweight capital, and an eye on the future, the UAE is positioning itself as a global eSports and gaming hub by 2033. With the Dubai Program for Gaming 2033 as its North Star, the country’s ambitions go well beyond casual participation—they aim to shape the global conversation.
The strategy is clear and simple: invest in talent, content, and technology, diversify the economy, and attract global gaming leaders to Dubai. The emirate’s goal? To become one of the world’s top 10 gaming cities, creating 30,000 new gaming and eSports related jobs and injecting US $1 billion into GDP from gaming by 2033. With initiatives like Gaming Visas for developers and content creators, plus specialized education programs, Dubai isn’t just talking—it’s building the future of gaming.
