China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism has authorized the resumption of internet live game operations from March 28, 2026, marking a regulatory green light after nearly two years of suspension. Following this official approval, several major internet companies that provide live interactive gaming services have restarted their platforms and are actively engaging the market. This development follows a period of tightened regulation on online gaming, reflecting government efforts to better manage industry growth and content. The resumption is seen as a controlled reopening intended to promote the healthy development of internet gaming while upholding regulatory standards. Analysts note this could revitalize user activity and investment in China’s gaming ecosystem, but industry companies remain subject to enhanced oversight moving forward.
