The agency says revenue from the global game market is expected to be $184.4 billion in 2022, down 4.3% from a year earlier.

CTOnews.com, November 16, according to the latest report released by market research firm Newzoo, the total revenue of the global game market in 2022 is estimated to be $184.4 billion, down 4.3% from the same period last year. The agency said that although the game industry is showing a downward trend, the future outlook is positive in the long run.

Newzoo believes that the global game market will decline in 2022 after two years of rapid growth. Compared with the mobile games and game console market, the PC game market remains dynamic. Newzoo expects the PC market to generate $40.5 billion in revenue in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 0.5 per cent.

CTOnews.com learned that the agency believes that the market environment has relatively little impact on the revenue of PC games. In 2022, the overall decline of the game industry and the overall number of games, PC games still maintain a relatively stable performance.

Mobile games are the most influential in the game industry in 2022. This is mainly because with the relief of the global epidemic, more and more people are returning to work, and there has been a significant decline in the time and frequency of using mobile games. On the other hand, affected by inflation and other factors, the global economic environment is not optimistic, players' spending on mobile games has decreased. And these factors also have a great impact on the game console industry.
