Digital Game Revenue Up 15% Year-Over-Year

Digital game revenue in October hit $8.5 billion, up fifteen percent compared to last year. 

Sales on PC, consoles, and mobile totaled $8.5 billion, as compared to $7.4 billion in October 2016. This is thanks to the success of multiplayer games like the popular battle royal shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which sold five million copies last month. Bungie’s Destiny 2 PC launch on October 24 also bumped up digital sales on PC by 28 percent.
