DDM: 2022 was second biggest year for gaming investment

The games industry raised $51.5 billion over 1,182 transactions according to DDM Data and Research’s Q4 2022 Games Investment Review. This marks the year as the second highest year for investments behind 2021’s $74.5 billion over 1,219 deals.

Readjustment after the pandemic is having far reaching effects on the games market. DDM suggests this decline is a result of crypto winter, macroeconomic headwinds, high interest rates and inflation and recession concerns.
