According to the presentation “The State of Video Games in 2025” by Matthew Ball, CEO of Epyllion, PC currently generates the majority of non-mobile gaming revenue. Sales of PC games exceed console games, and the platform itself is showing steady growth, remaining a bright spot in the industry.
At the same time, the mobile gaming segment retains leadership in terms of revenue. In 2024, revenues from mobile games increased by $83 billion compared to 2011. The increase in revenues from PC sales during this period amounted to $30 billion, and on consoles – $18 billion.
Although mobile gaming remains the leader in terms of revenues, the PC market is the only one that is showing strong growth. Despite higher sales on mobile devices, recent years have not brought significant growth for this segment. The console market also remains volatile, while PCs have been consistently showing steady revenue growth.
Ball’s report notes that in 2004, spending on PC games accounted for only 29% of all non-mobile content spending. However, by 2024, the share of PCs grew to 53%, while the console market declined by 2% to 47%.
