AppGallery takes gaming to the next level

Smartphones’ use extends well beyond communication. Sure, they are the most convenient way to stay in touch with friends and family. They have even become our most reliable camera and our personal entertainment center. But, most importantly, smartphones have taken the gaming industry by storm. You see, everyone loves games, and having a mobile powerhouse on hand makes it easier to play whenever and wherever you choose, be it for bite-sized or longer sessions.

A glance at the global market is enlightening. According to a recent study conducted by data.ai and IDC, mobile gaming will account for around 61% of the total gaming market in 2022. At the same time, gaming is booming in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with the gaming industry predicted to grow 19% to more than $5 billion by 2025. Furthermore, about 77% of adults living in the UAE play mobile games, with 56% being male and 44% female. Over a third (38%) spend more than 10 hours a week playing, while 62% of the UAE mobile gamers report that their hobby helps them relax and de-stress.

AppGallery, the official app distribution platform for HUAWEI Devices and one of the world’s top 3 app marketplaces, is one of the top destinations for mobile gamers. Either you consider yourself a casual or a hardcore gamer, AppGallery is home to the greatest available gaming experiences, which are further elevated by the spectacular screens, immersive sound and unparalleled performance that HUAWEI smartphones and tablets provide. 

AppGallery offers the whole range of gaming genres. From the epic battle royal masterpiece PUBG Mobile, one of the most popular mobile games ever, to a journey into the wild land of epic battles with the famous Revenge of Sultans, and to the world-famous and super popular in the UAE survival shooter Garena Free Fire, AppGallery is your passport to the most incredible MMO realms. AppGallery is the first-ever app marketplace that organized esports events (AppGallery Gamers Cup) for both PUBG Mobile and Garena Free Fire, demonstrating Huawei’s strong commitment to supporting the region’s thriving gaming community.

But if you'd rather unwind, AppGallery has you covered there, too. For instance, you can challenge your friends and family to a round of Ludo or Domino through the beloved Yalla Ludo, all while voice-chatting about your day. Tarbi3ah Baloot, another multiplayer card game is also featured on AppGallery. Simply pick your favorite game from the countless options available on AppGallery and start a relaxing virtual gaming night from the comfort of your own home.

Downloading games from AppGallery is a remarkably straightforward process. Launching AppGallery is the first step. While the platform allows users to download games even without logging in, we suggest using your HUAWEI ID in order to enjoy a more tailored experience. Then, tap the Games button at the bottom of your screen. With a player-centric interface and carefully curated content that speaks to each user’s passions, AppGallery helps gamers expand their horizons and discover their next favorite game. Additionally, you can explore games organized into six categories, including Action, Card & board, Puzzle & casual, Role-playing, Sports games, and Strategy, or use the search field at the top of the screen to directly enter the name of the game you are looking for. Gamers may also take advantage of the AppGallery’s exclusive offers and rewards to rule the leaderboards.

AppGallery further enhances its user experience by providing reliable, official support to everyone, by upgrading its customer care experience through an enhanced live chat service in the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and South Africa. On the other end of the line, a team of experts can quickly respond to queries regarding AppGallery apps and resolve any issues that users may encounter.

AppGallery is available in more than 170 countries and regions with over 580 million monthly active users. The diverse selection of apps covers all aspects of digital life, while offering a wealth of promotions and giveaways. In 2021, AppGallery recorded over 432 billion app downloads across the globe. Moreover, Huawei has partnered with 6 million registered developers worldwide to create one-of-a-kind experiences that cater to every lifestyle, culture, and location.
