The Scoop on Video Games

Video games are a cultural focal point that have become one of the largest entertainment industries in the world. In 2019 (pre-covid), theatrical and home entertainment revenue surpassed $100 billion for the first time. Worldwide box office receipts accounted for $42.5 billion, a new industry high, while digital home and mobile entertainment brought in $58.8 billion globally, up 14% y/y. By comparison, the games industry generated about $150 billion in 2019, with estimates for $200bn in 2023 and $300 billion by 2030. This is a long way from the $60 billion generated in 2010. On March 14, Yung Kim, who spent about 10 years on Wall Street analyzing the industry, will shed light on how the industry evolved from Pac-Man to Fortnite and offer insights on what might be around the corner.
