PC game revenue growth outpaced console revenue growth in 2025, marking a shift in the gaming industry. Newzoo forecasts a 6.6% annual growth rate for PC revenue from 2025 to 2028, compared to 4.4% for consoles, with PC revenue expected to surpass console revenue by 2028. However, 84% of spending by Chinese players is on domestically produced games, posing challenges for external developers. Additionally, 66% of Steam users engage in a language other than English. A memory and storage supply crisis may threaten continued PC revenue growth and impact the broader consumer electronics sector, potentially leading to shortages and price increases by 2028.
