DUBLIN – The “Subscription-based Gaming Market By Device Type, By Game Type: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
According to this report the subscription-based gaming market was valued at $17.16 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach $55.94 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 12.9% from 2022 to 2031.
A subscription-based model is one of the revenue models that has become increasingly popular for monetizing games, which sees users subscribe to join the games and pay a regular monthly fee to access the games and additional benefits. Subscription-based gaming services provide a consistent source of revenue and an engaged audience that operators can monetize through microtransactions and paid downloads. This reduces the risk associated with the regular release of top-performing premium games.
Technological advancements in gaming sectors such as the inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and the release of 5G along with the emergence of unlimited data plans are some factors driving the growth of the subscription-based gaming market. In addition, the increase in smartphones and internet penetration globally drives the market growth.
For instance, according to Ericsson, the number of 5G mobile subscriptions in the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to reach around 1,545 million by 2025. However, an increase in the prices of services offered by key vendors to gain more profit is expected to hamper the growth of the market. Furthermore, the emergence of cloud gaming and the increase in the number of SMEs in the gaming sector is expected to provide lucrative opportunities to the subscription-based gaming market.
The subscription-based gaming market is segmented on the basis of device type, game type, and region. On the basis of game type, the market is segmented into action, shooting, sports, adventure, fighting, role-playing, racing, and others. According to the device type, it is fragmented into smartphones, gaming consoles, PC, and others. Region-wise, it is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
Some of the key subscription-based gaming industry players profiled in the report include Amazon Luna, Blackout, Google LLC, Microsoft Corporation, NVIDIA Corporation, Shadow, Sony Group Corporation, Tencent, Ubitus K.K. and VORTEX (REMOTEMYAPP SP. Z O. O.).
