Hey guys, you won't believe Newzoo's latest Global Games Market Report for 2023! The gaming market revenue forecast took a hit, dropping to $183.9 billion from $187.7 billion. Mobile gaming saw an unexpected 2.1% decline, and console gaming barely grew at 0.3%. But wait, there's a silver lining—PC gaming surged by 8.4%, way higher than the 1.6% estimate!
