Computer Game Publishing in the UK - Industry Market Research Report
Computer Game Publishing in the UK
Games published for the major games consoles are the biggest source of revenue in the Computer Game Publishing industry. However, social games played online and on mobile phones are becoming more significant. Video games have now become a common form of entertainment for a large proportion of the population. They are played by all age groups and demographics, offering operators a wide potential market. Mobile phone gaming has made games more accessible for people that would otherwise not be inclined to buy console or PC games. User-friendly devices are encouraging older generations to play games.
Companies in this industry publish video games for all platforms, including PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, Microsoft Xbox One, Sony PlayStation 4, Sony PlayStation Vita, mobile devices and online platforms. The industry does not include publishing of non-gaming computer software such as operating systems (see IBISWorld report J58.290) or computer game development.
This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
