Newzoo: Games likely won’t hit $200B in 2022, but the future looks bright

Newzoo released a modified Global Games Market report today with a slightly less optimistic prediction of the industry’s 2022 revenues. However, the report overall praises the industry, even going so far as to call it (to some extent) “recession-proof.”

The previous version of the report, which released in early May, predicted that the market would break $200 billion in revenues for the first time. However, Newzoo says it has modified the numbers in response to factors such as supply constraints and game delays. That said, the report claims that player engagement will remain high.
