China’s National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) on Thursday published its list of approved online games for November 2025, giving the green light to 184 titles. The batch includes six imports and 178 domestic titles, which marks the highest number of Chinese-made games approved in a single round in nearly five years. As of November, regulators have issued 1,624 game licences in 2025, already well above the total number granted in all of 2024. Tencent’s PUBG Mobile has added a PC version, while the mobile game, developed by Tencent’s Lightspeed Studios with KRAFTON and launched in 2019, is a counterterrorism-themed competitive shooter.
