Fortnite became the leader of the rating, Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V also entered the TOP-3.
The statistics were shared by the analytical agency Newzoo. According to his data, in 2022 the gaming industry experienced some decline – this is due to the “lag” after the two-year coronavirus pandemic. Growth is observed only in the segment of games for the PC.
The most popular game in the past year (in terms of the number of monthly active players) was Fortnite. It was followed by Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V in the TOP. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II / Warzone 2.0, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone, Roblox, Apex Legends, Rocket League, Fall Guys and FIFA 22 followed.
Speaking of future projections, Newzoo analysts note that the video game market will grow to $211 billion by 2025, with mobile gaming revenue accounting for half of that amount. The growth of the cloud gaming and VR gaming segment is also predicted.
