2023’s phenomenal slate of game releases reportedly outshined in playtime by older titles

Despite 2023 receiving widespread acclaim as one of the best years of new gaming releases, a new report on PC and console gaming suggests most registered hours of playtime belong to games six years or older.

According to Newzoo’s second annual game industry report, gamers as a whole are spending more time playing older games than newer ones. In 2021, games that were six years or older reportedly made up 45 percent of total hours played. That number went up to 57 percent in 2022 and then up again to 61 percent in 2023, according to Newzoo.
