Today, we are thrilled to announce the Middle East North Africa Hero Project (MENA Hero Project). The Hero Project incubator programs aim to identify promising local developers and support them in bringing compelling gaming experiences to global gaming communities. Through the MENA Hero Project we aim to drive growth and innovation with game developers in the MENA region.

As part of our evolving journey to ensure that PlayStation remains the best place to play, we’re committed to developing regional incubator programs capable of identifying new and diverse developers worldwide. The MENA Hero Project is fueled by this commitment and our belief in the MENA gaming market.

The MENA Hero Project will support game developers based in the following countries: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates(UAE), Egypt, Morocco, Jordan, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Tunisia, Algeria, and Iraq.

Through mentorship, training, and project-based investment, SIE strives to lower the barrier of entry and showcase the most incredible talents emerging from this region. We’re pleased to announce this new initiative and our call for submissions.

Interested developers should apply to the program by reading the FAQ and applying here.

We warmly welcome new voices, ideas, and experiences from the MENA Game Development Community. Upon completing your submission, our team will reach out to you to confirm the next steps.
