Newzoo Latest Report Suggests Great Time Ahead For Gaming Industry.

The above-pasted screenshot from the latest Newzoo report shows that the gaming industry was doing much better before the pandemic, jumping from $67 billion in 2019 to $80 billion in just a year.

Since then, the numbers have stagnated for four years, but the games industry’s revenue has finally started to grow. As reported, the industry revenue will reach a record $92 billion by 2027.

It has also been projected that PC growth in the coming years will be 2.6%, while console growth will be 7.0%. Of course, these wouldn’t be possible without the launch of the most anticipated GTA 6 and Switch 2. 

GTA 6
The upcoming Grand Theft Auto title might be the industry’s saviour.

The report further suggested that from January 2021 to December 2024, around 10 games frequently made up 50 % of all playtime across all platforms, including Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, GTA 5, and others.

It has also been suggested that newer games struggle to get playtime from PC players, as many established games already exist. However, console players are more into playing newer titles, with PlayStation having the highest playtime rates for recent titles.
