Video game industry market trends

Overview

The video game market is experiencing significant growth across various sub-sectors. The battle royale genre, which evolved from early Minecraft servers and developer Brendan Greene’s work, is projected to grow from a $11.2 billion valuation to nearly $30 billion by 2035, despite high competition from major players like Amazon Games and Halo Studios.

Simultaneously, the in-game advertising market is expected to expand from $11.03 billion in 2025 to $20.7 billion by 2030. This growth is attributed to the rise of mobile gaming and free-to-play models. Industry trends show a move toward non-intrusive ad placements through strategic partnerships, such as the collaboration between Anzu and Gameloft SE.
