With new games releasing every other week, the video game industry has been doing good. However, in recent years, in terms of year-to-year (YoY) growth, the industry numbers haven’t been impressive. This could likely be because the industry had a massive growth during the pandemic, and things have settled down now. But according to to new report, we’re going to see a big boost in the video games industry, thanks to GTA 6! Let’s take a look at the report.
GTA 6 To Boost the Video Games Industry
Newzoo, the games data platform, recently released a detailed report that showcased the PC and console growth in recent years. They also shared a rough estimate of the numbers the industry would be doing in the coming years. If you look at the report, you’d notice that while the PC platform had growth, consoles, on the other hand, saw a decline during the 2021-2024 time period.
As per the estimates shared by Newzoo, with the release of Nintendo Switch 2, the console industry would also be seeing growth. The analyst shared that the release of GTA 6 could be the highlight of the 2024-2027 time period, and the game would help sell a lot of consoles! They suggest that by 2027, the industry could be valued at $92.7 billion. The estimated number lines up with our recent post that suggests GTA 6 Could Boost Xbox Series S Sales
