PC Gaming Represents a Minor Share of European Game Purchases in 2024
August 31, 2025 - 14:40
In 2024, the landscape of European gaming revenue revealed a significant shift towards digital purchases, with an impressive 90% of total revenue stemming from this sector. However, a closer examination of the data highlights that PC gaming accounted for only a modest 15% of these digital sales. This statistic underscores the growing dominance of other platforms, such as consoles and mobile devices, which have increasingly captured the attention of gamers across the continent.
The trend towards digital transactions reflects broader changes in consumer behavior, with players favoring the convenience and accessibility of online purchases. As gaming technology continues to evolve, it appears that platforms outside of PC are becoming the primary choice for many gamers. This shift raises questions about the future of PC gaming and its ability to compete in an ever-changing marketplace. As digital ecosystems expand, developers and publishers may need to adapt their strategies to meet the demands of a diverse gaming audience.
