HarmonyOS NEXT's unique HarmonyOS kernel and full-scenario technical capabilities are used in the game field to innovate and apply them. Through continuous exploration and application of cutting-edge technologies, it seeks growth and innovation points to broaden the social value and industry boundaries of games. As of July 2024, nearly 100 leading game manufacturers such as NetEase Games, Leyou, and Sanqi Interactive Entertainment have announced the completion of the development of HarmonyOS native games. Thousands of games such as "Naraka: Bladepoint" and "Sky: Children of the Light" have completed the development of HarmonyOS native games.

HarmonyOS NEXT provides fertile ground for the development and innovation of the game industry. Huawei continues to provide a more open development environment and more comprehensive service support. Through tools, engines, and platforms, it enables developers to efficiently build HarmonyOS native games. The technology of software and hardware collaboration enables developers to create more high-quality native boutique games. For example, the new cloud compilation and cloud rendering and other end-cloud collaboration capabilities greatly improve the fluency of games; distributed technology breaks down the barriers between terminal devices and innovates more game interaction methods. All links in the industry chain, such as mainstream game engines, third-party self-developed engines, SDKs, and plug-ins, have completed native HarmonyOS adaptation. With the support of a complete system and tool chain, the development time of the current native Hongmeng game adaptation is saved by more than 80% compared with the adaptation from scratch in the past.

At present, the Hongmeng ecosystem has more than 2.54 million developers and more than 900 million devices, making it the fastest-growing new generation of smart terminal operating system. Based on commercial cooperation such as joint operations and advertising, Huawei also provides tens of billions of full-scene publicity and promotion resources to help game developers reach more high-value users, promote the continuous growth of commercial value, and lay a solid economic foundation for the sustainable and healthy development of the game industry.

Finally, Wu Hao said: "Technology empowers games and achieves extraordinary experience. As an open, innovative and win-win new ecosystem, the Hongmeng ecosystem will provide an important engine and driving force for the high-quality development of the game industry. We look forward to working with more developers and partners to promote the further prosperity and development of the game industry!"

2024 ChinaJoy will be held in Shanghai, China from July 26 to July 29. The Hongmeng native game exhibition area of ​​Huawei Game Center is located at No. 01, Hall N3, BTOC. It works with more than 30 partners including NetEase Games to showcase the innovative practices of Hongmeng ecosystem cooperation, bringing players three innovative gaming experiences: native smoothness, native intelligence, and native connectivity.
