In April over $ 9 billion was spent on games. SuperData Arcade has the latest ranking from the gaming market, which shows that Fortnite in April beat its next record, reaching revenues of up to 296 million dollars. April is another month with an increase - in March the game generated revenue of 223 million dollars. I wonder if she will be able to break the 300 million barrier in May.
The data from SuperData Arcade also shows that Grand Theft Auto 5 has started to show signs of aging. Over the year, revenues generated by the game have dropped by 9%. Already in December ended twelve months with better results year on year. The revenue from the game has been steadily declining since January. One of the reasons may be the growing popularity of even Fortnite, and the other is that Rockstar has not been making serious collections of accessories for this title for some time.
In April, players on digital games spent $ 9.09 billion. Compared to April last year, there was a big increase, because of the sum of 7.42 billion. Expenses for consoles and mobile devices had the biggest impact on the increase in spending in April. SuperData Arcade points out that at the same time the PC platform slowed down and spending growth was not recorded in the case of AAA games, Pay-to-Play, Free-to-Play, or games on social media platforms.
