Epyllion’s latest report highlights the booming growth of PC gaming in consumer markets. Over the past decade, PC gaming has surged, now accounting for up to 20% more revenue than console games, challenging long-held notions about console dominance. This dramatic rise—from over 170% higher in favor of PC gaming between 2013 and 2023—is attributed to factors like backward compatibility, enhanced performance control, and a shift toward interactive experiences. Console sales, on the other hand, have stagnated or declined, with companies prioritizing PC releases years later.
The report emphasizes that PC gaming’s momentum is expected to continue, fueled by its “compounding advantages” over consoles. With consoles lagging in innovation and consumer interest, PC gaming has emerged as a dominant force in the gaming market. This growth underscores the health of gaming markets, indicating sustainable expansion across both platforms.
