For years, video game development has been one of the fastest growing sectors of the entertainment industry — and it’s safe to say that the COVID-19 pandemic hasn’t slowed that down. On the contrary, according to Newzoo’s assessment from October 2020, the global games market for 2020 will have generated revenues of USD 174.9 billion, a 19.6 percent increase on 2019 figures. Significantly, this late 2020 assessment is USD15 billion higher than the one made ahead of the pandemic in March.
