2025 PC and Console Gaming Report by Newzoo indicates that revenue from console gaming decreased by 3.9% compared to the previous year, primarily due to a 14% drop in sales for premium paid games.
2024 saw Premium Games contribute approximately $19.9 billion to console gaming’s overall revenue, which amounted to around 46% of the $42.8 billion earned that year. This made Premium Games the largest contributor among all business models. However, it was the only model experiencing a decline in revenue on this platform. (This paragraph attempts to simplify and rephrase the original text while maintaining its key points.)
In 2024, microtransactions accounted for approximately one-third (32%) of console gaming income, generating around $13.9 billion. This represented a 4.5% rise from the previous year’s earnings. Subscriptions followed closely behind with a 14.1% Year-over-Year growth rate, resulting in a revenue of $6.9 billion. Lastly, DLC contributed 5% to the total income, amounting to $2.2 billion – an increase of 2.5% compared to the previous year.
From my perspective as a gaming enthusiast, it seems that six games have been instrumental in boosting revenue for microtransactions and downloadable content (DLC) this year. Microtransaction-wise, Fortnite, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and NBA 2K25 have collectively contributed to a 4.5% increase. Meanwhile, Elden Ring, Diablo 4, and Destiny 2 are the key drivers for growth in the DLC sector.
2024 saw console gaming earnings surpass those of PC gaming, totaling approximately $37.3 billion. Interestingly, the PC gaming market had about 58% of its revenue derived from microtransactions.

In 2024, console gaming generated more income than PC gaming at around $37.3 billion. Moreover, it was found that 58% of the revenue in the PC gaming market came from microtransactions.
As a dedicated gaming enthusiast, I’m excited to share that, according to Newzoo’s predictions, the revenue generated from console gaming is projected to reach an impressive $47.3 billion by 2025, and even more astonishingly, it’s expected to soar to an incredible $52.4 billion by 2027!
