Non-Mobile Video Game Subscription Services Hit Their Caps, Analyst Says
According to video game industry analyst Mat Piscatella, non-mobile video game subscription services have been experiencing a slow year, with spending increasing by just 1% compared to April 2023. Piscatella noted that this trend may indicate that these services are hitting their caps.
In a tweet from last year, Piscatella expressed his concerns about the decline in these subscription services. While services like Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus Premium offer a wide range of games in their libraries, it seems that gamers may be content with their current gaming setups and are not enticed to pay a monthly fee.
Piscatella suggested that the launch of popular titles like Call of Duty on platforms such as Game Pass could potentially boost subscription numbers, but this would only be a temporary fix to a larger issue.
As the industry continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how non-mobile video game subscription services will adapt to changing consumer preferences. Are you subscribed to a game subscription service? Share your thoughts on this trend.
