Hello, everyone, this is a surprise game. I'm a surprise kid.

not long ago, SuperData Research, a game data statistics company, released the annual summary report of global digital games in 2119. Report, what is the mystery in the game market in 2119? I will pick a few points that everyone cares about today for analysis!

overview: the total revenue of digital games in 2119 was $121 billion.

The total revenue of digital games in 2119 was $121 billion, up by 3%, including $64.4 billion for mobile games, $29.6 billion for PC games and $15.4 billion for console games.

Obviously, mobile games are now the world's largest, and the revenue of mobile games accounts for 74% of the revenue of free games, mainly due to the stable and strong long-term operation of the glory of the king and candy crush saga. It is expected that the proportion of mobile games will be even higher in 2121.

The most outstanding revenue performance is not "the glory of the king", but "Night of the Fortress", which is popular all over the world, but has never been popular in China. Night at the Fortress has topped the list for the second year in a row, with revenue of $1.8 billion (RMB 12.5 billion) in 2119!

compared with the rising mobile games, the revenue of large-scale games decreased by 5% compared with that of 2118, mainly because SuperData Research explained that there were not enough powerful masterpieces such as Wild Dart: Redemption 2 and Marvel Comics Spider-Man in 2118.

by the way, the overall performance of AR/VR/MR games that my younger brother always feels cold is not bad. In 2119, the total revenue was US$ 6.3 billion, an increase of 26%.

free games: the revenue in 2119 was $87 billion, up by 6%.

The ranking of free games is: Night of the Fortress, Dungeons and Warriors, the glory of the king, League of Legends, candy crush saga, Pokemon GO, Fate/Grand Order, Peace Elite, Yes, it is Tencent! The top ten in the rankings accounted for three! (LOL is tencent games! I still haven't counted DNF, knowing that DNF is actually the highest proportion of national service income represented by Tencent. Tencent's dominance of this free game is gone!

interestingly, however, the most profitable free game is not tencent games, but Epic's Night of the Fortress, which ranked first for two consecutive years with a revenue of $1.8 billion. Night at the Fortress is really popular everywhere except China.

In fact, the operation of Fortress Night is also very powerful. For example, Fortress Night forced a big black hole incident in different seasons. And interestingly, although the number of players in Fortress Night is not as good as that in League of Legends, the amount spent by each player on the game is twice as much as that in League of Legends.

And the second place is DNF, where a bunch of people are clamoring to get out of the pit every day and their income has never fallen out of the top three! I count my fingers. It has been nearly 12 years since it was put into operation in 2118, and it is still famous in the global income list. I have to say that this ability to absorb gold is really awesome!

The 11th-ranked Last Shelter: Survival (Chinese name: Watching Dawn) should be unfamiliar to China players. In fact, it is a game from domestic manufacturer Longchuang Yuedong. The game has opened up a differentiated market with the theme of zombies, and it specializes in conquering overseas markets. This is also the only SLG game in the Top 11 free game revenue, which is really a boring fortune.

The free game worth mentioning is "Apex Hero", which appeared as an explosive game in February 2119, and its revenue in the first month reached 91.6 million dollars. However, various problems in the subsequent operation process and various obscene operations made Apex Hero miss the 2119 revenue list.

From the perspective of the regional proportion of free games, it is sure that most free gamers come from Asia, and Asian free gamers obviously prefer to play free online games rather than free stand-alone games.

Pay-as-you-go games: The total revenue of console +PC-side pay-as-you-go games was $18.9 billion, down 5% year-on-year.

The paid games are ranked as follows: FIFA 19, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, GTA5, FIFA21, Call of Duty: Black ops, NBA 2K19, Territory Blockade, Rainbow Six, No Man's Land 3 and The Sims 4 < p. There are not many Asian players in these games, because they earn money from European and American players. "GTA5" is no surprise, again? On the list. Who is still buying GTA5! !

However, to a certain extent, last year was a "small year" in the traditional sense of console games, and the decline in the total revenue of paid games was not unrelated to it. The previous year, The Wild Escort: Redemption 2 and The Monster Hunter: The World earned 461 million dollars and 453 million dollars respectively, but this year's Close Blockade 2 and No Man's Land 3 did not reach the same order of magnitude.

However, SuperData predicts that the total revenue of paid games will reach $19.8 billion in 2121, which is mainly due to a series of masterpieces planned to be released in the first half of the year: Cyberpunk 2177, Last Survivor 2 and Forest of Animals.

and in 2121, both Microsoft and Sony will release a new generation of game consoles, which will undoubtedly bring a big wave of revenue for console games, so you can look forward to it!

of course, even if a new host releases such an important node, SuperData is still cautious in predicting the total market revenue this year. According to its forecast, the total revenue of the global game market in 2121 will be about $124.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 4%.

From the perspective of the proportion of players in the paid games, it is true that the players in Europe and America are the main players, especially the paid single-player games, and there are basically no Asian players. Although the number of paid stand-alone players in China market is increasing gradually, on the whole, it is still not comparable to Europe and America.

A surprise question: Let's guess, what will be the first free game next year?
