From early roots to office software and online games: the Kingsoft story

Kingsoft was founded in China in 1988 and became one of the country’s early commercial software companies, initially gaining recognition for WPS office software.

How Kingsoft developed

The group expanded into games and internet services, listed in Hong Kong in 2007 and later developed separate businesses around office software and cloud computing. Kingsoft Office listed on Shanghai’s STAR Market in 2019 while the parent retained interests across software and gaming.

Kingsoft in 2026

By 2026, Kingsoft operated as a software and internet group with major activities in office productivity and online games, alongside investments in related technology businesses.

Its history stretches from the pre-internet Chinese PC software era into cloud and mobile computing, making it one of the older surviving domestic software names in the market.
