Mobile games, which accounts for almost a third of total video games sales, helped by the fact that the majority of the people in the UK own a smartphone, continued to record positive current value growth in 2022. However, two major challenges are becoming obvious for mobile games.
In general, digital video games software was the only area of video games that recorded a positive performance in 2022. This growth was due the launch of updated versions of well-known games and the good performance of all its categories (digital computer games, digital console games, online games and subscriptions, and mobile games), with online games and subscriptions particularly dynamic in 2022.
Over the forecast period, it is expected that the existing video games categories will continue to exist and that video games as a whole will be recording year-on-year growth. However, there are new gaming models that are emerging, and the three that are currently grabbing most of the attention are blockchain games, artificial intelligence in gaming, and cloud gaming.
