Chinese gaming giant Tencent looks to South-East Asia with Sea partnership


The partnership comes as growth in China

Tencent Holdings, China’s biggest social media operator and games publisher, has partnered with Singapore-based gaming and e-commerce company Sea to publish its game titles in South-East Asia as the Chinese tech giant looks to the international market amid stalled growth at home.

The deal grants Garena, Sea’s digital entertainment arm, the right of first refusal to publish Tencent’s mobile and PC games in Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore for five years, according to a statement issued on Nov 19 by Sea.
