"2023 Gaming Trends: Majority of Playtime Dominated by Older Titles"
A new report by Newzoo reveals that over half of the game time in 2023 was spent on just 66 specific games, with 20% of that time spent on games other than those mentioned. Notably, a significant portion of playtime was dedicated to games at least six years old, with titles like Fortnite, League of Legends, GTA 5, Minecraft, and Roblox accounting for 27% of all playtime. This trend poses challenges for new game developers, as evergreen titles and robust content pipelines continue to dominate the gaming landscape, making it increasingly difficult to grow a game's playerbase.
