The Chinese National Shippon Publishing Office issued a sales license for a new 45 domestic game titles on April 11. License issuance is since last July, and it has been resumed with a long stop license issue.

In China, strict regulations are imposed on the release of the game. Specifically, businesses that provide paid games require approval of game licenses issued by the Chinese government. It is not possible to launch the game unless you receive a license from the government. The issue of the license has been done every month through the first half of 2021. However, since July last year, new game license issuance is stopped in China. As a result, many companies have continued to be able to sell games newly. This license issue will be for the first time in nine months. For each game company, it has been resumed to be a long-awaited issue.

XD 's large brawl game "Flash party (Flash Party)", Log Like "Kotomi Oiko", 37 Interactive Entertainment, "Unusual Voyage Voyage", etc., has newly acquired a license. Of the 45 titles, 5 titles are for PC. One title is for Nintendo Switch, and the rest is a mobile title. Many of them are casual games with fewer player consumption.

In August, in August, the economic reference, which is a national paper in China's Xinhian communication series, refers to the game industry as "mental open". There was also a two sight that the stock price of Tencent and Netease falls sharply (related articles).
