Unlocking Opportunities in the New Smartphone Law

On December 12, 2025, a significant transformation in the gaming industry is set to occur with the enforcement of the new smartphone law. In light of this development, S8Plus Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, is hosting a free online webinar titled "Exploring Opportunities in the New Smartphone Law: Insights from Game8Store and Legal Experts." This event will take place from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM JST.

The current landscape of the gaming business is experiencing a pivotal shift. While the new law expands the freedom of external payment methods, it also raises the stakes for legal risks if implementation is not handled properly. The webinar aims to provide an in-depth understanding of both opportunities and challenges posed by the smartphone law, facilitated by insights from Game8—well-versed in the revenue models of gaming—and STORIA Law Firm, leading experts in app legalities.

The upcoming webinar will address key points concerning the revenue structure and legal risks associated with the recent changes in legislation. Participants will gain valuable insights into the usage of Game8Store—a service enabling direct engagement with 42 million users for in-app purchases and external payment implementations.
