Preliminary figures from the Digital Entertainment and Retail Association’s annual report (hereon referred to as ERA) reveal video games represented 42.1 percent of the UK’s total home entertainment revenues in 2022.
The UK trade organisation has estimated games made £4.66bn last year (a rise of 2.3 percent from 2021). This means that, once again, games are the biggest home entertainment industry in the UK (thanks, GamesIndustry.biz).
Most of this preliminary figure is made up by digital game sales, which according to ERA are estimated to represent around £4.17bn in revenue. This is a rise of 3.1 percent year-on-year.
