Recently, the latest "China Game Cloud Market Tracking Research, 2026H1" report released by International Data Corporation (IDC) shows that in the first half of 2026, Alibaba Cloud ranked first in the overall market with a market share of 37%, and ranked first in the six major market segments of infrastructure IaaS+CDN, infrastructure IaaS+ solution, infrastructure IaaS, solution, general cloud platform, and cloud gaming platform. Among them, in the game cloud infrastructure market, Alibaba Cloud accounts for 40%; in the game cloud solutions market, Alibaba Cloud accounts for 44%.

Focusing on game R&D, operations, and overseas expansion, Alibaba Cloud provides full-stack AI technology from chips, cloud infrastructure, basic models to MaaS and agents.

At the agent level, the application of AI is moving from code assistance to specific positions and team workflow. The level planning team of Buming Technology, the developer of "War Intent", uses Qoder to generate the Lua scripts required for troop lines, task triggering and performance control based on natural language requirements. After manual review and in-game execution verification, the level planning team implements the level logic, allowing planners who are familiar with scene design but not good at programming to directly participate in the production of runnable scripts.

At the MaaS level, model capabilities have begun to enter the office, customer service and marketing processes of game companies. "Crazy Water World" owned by Yishijie has accessed the multi-model ecosystem through the Qianwen AI platform, built office agents and customer service efficiency solutions, and combined with Wanjingshi's AIGC video capabilities, expanded game advertising materials into short comics and creative ads, shortened the creative iteration cycle and reduced material production costs; for small and medium-sized teams and independent developers, Alibaba Cloud's cooperation with TapTap further connects model capabilities and game creation platforms. By accessing Alibaba models such as Qwen-Image-3.0, Wan3.0 and Qwen3.8-Max, TapTap Manufacturing integrates image, video and sequence frame generation into the game production pipeline. Creators can propose ideas through natural language, generate code and materials in the cloud, build and preview the game, publish it to TapTap after completion, and then iterate based on player feedback.

At the infrastructure level, "Crazy Water World" uses Alibaba Cloud's ninth-generation ECS instances and cloud database MongoDB in the deployment of Chinese and Asian servers to support flexible server opening, player status synchronization, and high-concurrency reading and writing of core data. MaxCompute and Hologres build an integrated offline and real-time data link to support user profile analysis and minute-level activity optimization; ESA edge security acceleration is used to improve access latency and security protection for players in Asia and the Pacific. From game launch to regional expansion, Alibaba Cloud uses global infrastructure, elastic computing and edge network capabilities to provide cross-regional deployment and low-latency access support for game companies going global, and supports operational decisions through databases and computing platforms.

From planning scripts and testing workbenches to cross-regional operations and creation platforms, cloud + AI is covering more aspects of the game business. Alibaba Cloud will rely on full-stack AI technology and a global infrastructure network to support game teams of different sizes to develop AI applications and expand the global market.
