In 2023, U.S. consumers spent $57.2 billion on video game products, which includes $48 billion on games alone, according to the ESA and WeareCircana. This marks a 1% increase from 2022, but still below the pandemic era peak in 2021. The growth was fueled by a 13% rise in digital download spending on console platforms and an 11% rise in digital premium downloads on PC, Cloud, and VR platforms. Hardware purchases, including consoles like the Sony PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch, were steady at $6.6 billion. Gaming accessory spending increased by 4% to $2.6 billion from the previous year's $2.5 billion.
