Last year, the number of game releases increased enormously. It is striking that the sum of digital games is grown; physical versions, however, have fallen to a new low.
more digital, less physically
With Steam, the Nintendo shop and many other online stores is made easier for more than a decade of digital game purchases. In addition, technological advances and the expansion of Internet access that support this trend coming. The progressive networking but has the consequence that physical games back slowly.
2021 is again a prime example of this trend. A US statistics by industry analyst Mat Isabella from market research firm NPD Group on Twitter the declining number of physical releases last year. Less than 10 percent of all games published as disc version; 2018 there were at least 20 percent.
One reason may be especially the exclusive digital switch games, which rose from 357 in 2020 to 980 by the end of the 2021st In general, the number of games has grown rapidly in the last year — and on any platform. In statistics, free-to-play games are as well as add-on content allowed on top.
Although this analysis applies only to the US space, but you can in this country of a very similar result to go out, because the two markets differ not great.
A golden era for indie projects
Here you must note: Access to the game development is through the digital progress and a variety of public-developer tools for indie studios and solo developer much easier than it was ten or even twenty years; simultaneously are more mobile games more complex and more expensive than before. Who continues to bring AAA Studios their games, of course, as a disc versions on the market now to invest many years in the development of a single game.
The numbers from last year could be an indication then that primarily, the market for many smaller digital games is greater. Games for which a disc-publication would be difficult to achieve in general. Extinction of games on physical media is not herauszulesen and therefore still far away.
