Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a decree on October 14, 2026, regulating the legal framework for the electronic games industry, building on a 2024 law. The measure aims to boost domestic production, foster technological innovation, and integrate gaming with public policies in culture, education, and health. Key figures include President Lula, Minister Margareth Menezes, and the Ministry of Culture, who emphasized the economic scale of the Brazilian market, which moves between R$ 12 and R$ 13 billion annually and has over 115 million players. The decree covers all platforms including VR/AR but explicitly excludes sports betting and gambling. The government also launched the Game Brasil platform and a national training network.
