Recent industry trends reveal a significant shift in developer focus. A survey of 3,000 game developers indicates a strong preference for the PC platform, with 80% favoring it over consoles. This represents a notable increase from 58% in 2021, reaching 66% in 2024. This surge highlights the rapidly expanding appeal and importance of the PC gaming market.
The growing preference for PC development stems from its inherent flexibility, scalability, and access to a broader player base. Consequently, consoles are experiencing a decline in developer interest. Currently, only 34% of surveyed developers are actively working on titles for the Xbox Series X|S, compared to 38% on the PlayStation 5 (including the PS5 Pro).
