Console Gaming Reigns Supreme
Console games made up the majority of the gaming market share last year, generating $53.1 billion in revenue.
Games like Hogwarts Legacy, NBA 2K24, and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom were among the top-selling console games on the market.
While PC gaming brought in less revenue, the segment saw greater year-over-year revenue growth at 3.9%.
Cross-Platform Titles Boost PC Game Sales
Some of 2023’s most successful games were cross-platform releases, many of which sold well on the PC and drove growth for the segment.
Award-winning fantasy RPG Baldur’s Gate 3 is one example of a breakout cross-platform game, selling over 10 million copies as of February 2024.
