, vice chairman Prince Faisal bin ******* bin Sultan Al-Saud was asked about increasing the PIF’s investment in ********* games companies, including Nintendo and others. While he said there’s “always a possibility” of it happening, the PIF wouldn’t do it without approval of their partners.

“It’s important to keep the communication going so you get there in the right way,” he told the outlet. “We don’t want to rush into anything.”

The PIF currently owns just under 9% of Nintendo, 8.58% to be exact. The fund also has ownership stake in Nexon, Koei Tecmo, and Capcom.

Insider Gaming has reached out to Nintendo for comment on a possible increase in PIF ownership. As of publishing, no response has been received.

Recently, Saudi Arabia funded the Olympic Esports Games in partnership with the International Olympic Committee. The first of those games will take place in 2025, and is the beginning of a 12-year deal.
