📄Insights from Newzoo’s 2025 Report

Here are the key takeaways you don’t want to miss:

🔎 Market Outlook:
• PC remains stable, with slight growth driven by free-to-play (F2P) titles.
• Console revenue growth is expected to surge with GTA VI and the Nintendo Switch 2.
• The future of gaming will depend on shifts in share growth, not just new game releases.

🔎 Playtime Trends:
• Overall playtime is growing, but hours are becoming concentrated in AAA titles, with intense competition for audience time.
• Post-pandemic, players are engaging with fewer titles, challenging new games to meet sales targets.
• F2P games continue to dominate but suffer from high player churn. New titles must combine strong IP and engaging gameplay to succeed.

🔎 Special Topics:
• Recursive Nostalgia: Big games are leveraging nostalgic content to keep players engaged.
• Steam Visibility: Discoverability on Steam has become more challenging; off-platform traffic is growing in importance.
