Industry Analysis

• Global Gaming Market

PC and console gaming are thriving again after the adjustments of 2022. Gaming has become the core of media and entertainment. In 2023, the industry will cover 3.4 billion players and generate $187.7 billion in revenue.

By 2026, the global gaming market's annual revenue is expected to reach 212.4 billion USD.

Cloud gaming and virtual reality are expanding, but they are still niche markets for professionals.

Console and PC game developers are increasingly focused on live service games. However, the contradiction between ongoing new content and a limited player base has raised concerns about the long-term viability of live services.

Generative AI is gradually being integrated into game development, although its adoption has faced some resistance from the gaming community.

Adventure games are leading in the console sector, expected to contribute 17.1% of console revenue in 2023.

• Global Mobile Gaming Market

Despite facing challenges, the mobile gaming industry is expected to achieve a growth of 0.8% in 2023, with revenues reaching $92.6 billion. This growth, while positive, is relatively moderate compared to the explosive expansion of previous years. This year's growth trajectory in the mobile sector will primarily be driven by emerging markets and well-known mobile games. From a purely quantitative perspective, mobile gaming will maintain its dominant position in the gaming field, expected to continue capturing the largest share of consumer engagement and spending, accounting for nearly half of the global gaming market.

In terms of financial performance, the global mobile gaming market was valued at approximately 92.6 billion dollars in 2023. It is expected to expand to 339.45 billion dollars by 2030.

The market is expected to experience significant growth, primarily driven by the widespread adoption of smartphones. In terms of market platform segmentation, Android is expected to hold the largest market share. In terms of device segmentation, smartphones have become the dominant segment. Geographically, North America contributes the most to the revenue of the mobile gaming industry.

• Web3 GameFi Market

Web3 is still a relatively small market, with an expected value of $23.926 billion in 2023. During the forecast period, the market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 18.7%, exceeding $133.2282 billion by 2033. Factors driving the demand for Web3 gaming include decentralization and ownership, play-to-earn economies, interoperability and cross-platform support, community-driven development, and enhanced security and transparency.

Factors driving the demand for Web3 games: Growing interest in decentralized technology, with people increasingly eager for greater autonomy and ownership of their digital assets. The prospect of earning real rewards through gameplay is a significant attraction for Web3 gamers, thereby stimulating demand. The ability for players to use in-game assets across various games and platforms provides flexibility and a cohesive gaming experience. Inviting players to participate in the game development process fosters a sense of ownership, loyalty, and engagement within the gaming community.

Comparison of Comparable Projects

The Web3 gaming market has yet to see games like "Divine Blade X"; the unique "Dark Souls" action genre has still not been explored. The leading projects in the GameFi space are a certain Infinite Bio, a certain Sandbox, and a certain Central Land. Only a certain Infinite Bio offers cross-platform support for PC and mobile users.

According to the unique active wallet data from a certain data platform on November 28, 2023, over the past 30 days, a certain Bio Infinite leads with 76.93k users, followed by a certain Sandbox with 7.31k and a certain Central Land with 1.63k. Bio Infinite continues to maintain its leading position in the market; this easy-to-use play-to-earn game has significantly rebounded from a major security flaw that resulted in over $600 million in asset losses.

However, it is worth noting that, despite a certain biological entity dominating the market, its user base remains relatively small compared to traditional Web2 games, even in light of recent signs of market recovery.

In contrast, the "God's Blade X" series has attracted over 3 million players, with 200,000 registered for its closed beta. The project is expected to achieve significant growth. This growth could drive major changes in the GameFi industry.
