Entertainment Software Association (ESA)

The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) is where the major players of the video game industry work together to support the bright future of video games.

The video game industry is one of America’s fastest growing industries. With that growth comes an increasingly complex environment in which the ESA helps its members navigate a maze of laws and regulations. The ESA has an unmatched track record in protecting the industry’s First Amendment rights at both the federal and state levels. Our Legal, Regulatory & Policy and Government Affairs departments provide key information, smart advocacy, and collaboration opportunities through a strong reputation and contacts. Working with Congress and the Administration, the ESA advocates for robust intellectual property protection and enforcement measures; standards that enable free cross-border data flows and the reduction of barriers to digital trade and services. The ESA provides information and communications support that helps members promote the industry, their products, and games’ positive impact on society.

They are the video game industry, reimagining entertainment for billions of players around the world. They deliver dynamic interactive experiences that challenge the boundaries of storytelling, competition, and social interaction.
