The report also claims the console segment to be this year’s “biggest revenue growth vehicle”. The release of successful titles like Hogwarts Legacy and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can be a reason for their claims. And the imminent release of console-exclusive titles like Starfield and Spider-Man 2 will only further their cause.

However, the report has also pointed out the rapid growth of mobile gaming, due to the pandemic. The mobile gaming industry alone generated 50% of the revenue in 2022. Looking at this, major publishers like Ubisoft have also brought their Assassin’s Creed series to mobile.
