CTOnews.com, November 19 (Xinhua)-- Newzoo, an analysis company, recently released a global game industry report for the first half of 2023, predicting that the revenue of the game industry in fiscal year 2023 will reach $184 billion (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 1.33 trillion yuan), and that it will grow to $205.7 billion by 2026 (currently about 1.49 trillion yuan).

In addition, while revenue from PC and game consoles has increased, mobile games still account for the bulk of game revenue.

The report also points out that by company segment, Tencent maintains a leading position in service games on all platforms, with Sony and Apple in second and third place respectively, and Microsoft in fourth place.

However, as Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard took 18 months and was not finally completed until October this year, the revenue of Activision and Microsoft are calculated separately in the picture above. According to the agency's analysis, if the income of the two is combined, the situation will be shown in the following figure:

Adding together the revenues of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard, Microsoft will overtake Sony PlayStation as the second-largest game company for the first time in game history, according to the data. Microsoft hopes to emulate Tencent in producing cross-platform service games, rather than adopting a more traditional closed console ecosystem like PlayStation and Nintendo.

Microsoft also told investors that game revenue is expected to grow by nearly 50% in the next quarter as a result of the consolidation of revenue streams.
