Google Play selects 10 African studios for $1m Indie Games Fund

Google Play has selected 10 game studios from Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana and Kenya for its inaugural $1 million Indie Games Fund in Africa. Google is offering each studio between $50,000 and $200,000 in equity-free funding. The programme also provides mentorship and technical support to help independent developers grow their games. Selected studios must publish on Google Play and join Google Play Pass on a non-exclusive basis for two years. The funding aims to help them develop their games, grow their teams, expand their audiences and strengthen their businesses.
