 H.R.H spoke to the transformation that gaming has undergone in the last couple of years, stating, “We recognize gaming not just as entertainment but as a powerful platform for social cohesion, innovation, and empowerment. Through strategic initiatives and investments, we are laying the foundation for Saudi Arabia to become a global hub for gaming and esports. Let us not underestimate the transformative power of gaming to affect positive change. Let us harness its potential to inspire creativity, foster collaboration, and build bridges across borders.”
