Game companies have diversified their revenue streams via an array of monetization tactics. This includes not only full-priced premium games, but also DLC, free-to-play monetization and subscriptions. Game revenues in the US market: PC players tend to spend a little more in-game than console players Luckily, our revenue data for the US includes metrics like total revenues, ARPU and ARPPU. We even split out revenue streams like DLC, microtransactions and subscriptions. All this data is available by game, platform (PlayStation, Xbox and PC) and genre in our [Newzoo Expert]( platform. This data is already helping game developers benchmark their game’s performance, forecast game launches and hone their monetization strategy. Our revenue data for the first nine months of 2022 shows that the monthly ARPPU per title is similar across the platforms we track. Xbox, PlayStation and PC all hover around the $20 mark. This number only includes in-game revenue related to a game (such as DLC, microtransactions and subscriptions) and does not include any premium revenue for games (such as buying a copy of a title for $60). PlayStation’s ARPPU is slightly higher for the first nine months of this year. It is worth noting that the top five titles by revenue for Xbox and PlayStation are the same: - Three paid sports titles with live-service elements - A huge blockbuster single-player release - A free-to-play game that is known for successfully pushing players to spend big on cosmetics (and battle passes) However, PlayStation also has several other single-player first-party experiences that bolstered revenues this year (Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7), ultimately pushing PlayStation over the edge.
