Recently, market research company Newzoo released the "2025 PC and Console Game Report". According to its data, the number of PC game players has exceeded the number of console game players.

The report shows that the number of PC players increased by 3.9% year-on-year in 2024, from 873.5 million to 907.5 million.Although the number of console players is also increasing, it has only increased by 2.3%, from 615.6 million to 629.5 million.

Newzoo predicts that the number of players will continue to rise steadily from 2025 to 2027.It is expected that the number of PC players will increase to 930.1 million this year, while the number of console players will increase to 653.1 million.By the end of 2027, the number of PC and console players will reach 971.7 million and 698 million respectively.

Although PC players are growing rapidly and have more people, the revenue of console platforms is still slightly higher than that of PC platforms.Console game revenue in 2024 was US$42.8 billion, while PC game revenue was US$37.3 billion.The total gaming revenue for the whole year was US$80.2 billion, slightly lower than the revenue of US$81.9 billion in 2023.Nevertheless, overall gaming revenue is expected to grow to $85.2 billion in 2025, and by 2027, full-year revenue will exceed $92 billion.

One important reason for the expected growth in total gaming revenue is the new hardware.The launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2025, as well as the launch of new hardware around 2027, will drive players to buy more games.
