Video games in Italy

Video games in Italy are a popular consumer product, making the country a large market for foreign distributors. The establishment of a domestic industry was long hampered by a lack of intellectual property protections. Strong consumer protection laws continue to limit the activities of industry actors. Video games in Italy are increasingly used as a tool for the preservation of the country’s cultural heritage. However, the increase of time spent playing video games during the COVID-19 pandemic also prompted concerns regarding potential adverse health effects of excessive video gaming on adolescents in the country.
