According to Global Video Game Consumer Market Overview, nearly 3.7 billion people now play games. This research is divided by region, country, and gaming platform and was conducted to find the actual consumption of the games.

The report also stated that the gaming industry made over $184.4 billion in revenue, and the mobile industry had the most impact on the amount of money. It made over $92.2 billion, nearly 50% of the total revenue.

Following mobile games, the console market came in second place and made over $51.8 billion, accounting for 28% of the total revenue. PC gaming came in last place, with around $38.2 billion.

Furthermore, the report also shared a chart that showed the top console gaming countries, and the US is leading the chart with over 100 million gamers worldwide. Japan secured the second position with over 20 million players.

It should be noted that many gamers use multiple platforms to play games, and the report tries its best to eliminate such results by identifying them. However, it is still impossible to eliminate each of them.

Nonetheless, it is great to see the gaming industry growing. Nearly half of the world now plays and enjoys video games, pointing to a bright future for the industry.
