H1 2023 is the weakest since 2016 while 2023 could bounce back with record-breaking H2
Over the last year, the games industry withstood macroeconomic headwinds of high inflation and recession fears, a prolonged crypto winter, bank failures, and slower global economic growth. As a result, games investments and M&As in Q2 2023 have marked four quarters or a full year of decline in value and volume.
H2 is looking to rally to a record-breaking year after Savvy Games Group’s $4.9B Scopely acquisition closed in July (Q3) and as Microsoft’s $68.7B acquisition of Activision Blizzard is closer to regulatory approval and looking likely to close in Q3.
In our report, we also highlight big stories that impact the industry, including:
• Microsoft Steps Closer to Acquiring Activision Blizzard
• Blockchain Slammed by Regulations Making Blockchain Game Investors Flee
• AI in Games: The New Wave with Legal Complications
• Embracer Group’s Halt in Acquisitions Sends Ripples Throughout Industry
We’re excited coverage continues from Forbes, GamesIndustry.biz, and Deadline Hollywood. Read more in our free summary or full paid reports.
