Digital game revenues reaches $1.02B in June; Call of Duty tops earnings chart

More consumers are turning to digital downloads of games, but it’s the same old names that are benefiting on home consoles.

The digital game market generated $1.02 billion in revenues last month, according to industry intelligence firm SuperData Research. That is up 18 percent year-over-year. Most of that growth, as usual, comes from mobile, console, and PC — and all three of these sectors were able to offset the continually shrinking social-gaming space on desktop. The global gaming industry is worth more than $90 billion, and more of this cash is going digital than ever before. And publishers with big-name games like Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto are absorbing most of that.
