Gaming Software (COVID-19 Impact) - Thematic Research

Summary

 

The COVID-19 outbreak has now spread across the world, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. This report discusses the impact of the virus on leading companies in the gaming software sector.

 

Key Highlights

  • - In the short-term, COVID-19 might have a positive impact on the gaming sector, as people forced to stay at home look for ways to entertain themselves.
  • - The 39% increase in global mobile game downloads recorded in February 2020 by app analytics firm Sensor Tower was largely attributed to the lockdown imposed in China.
  • - Popular title Honor of Kings, published by Tencent Games, hit an all-time high for daily average users during the last week of January 2020. As well as more downloads, game publishers are reporting an increase in revenue from in-game purchases, which they are also attributing to global restrictions on movement.
  • - However, the medium to long-term picture may not be so rosy. Several major trade events in the industry’s calendar - including E3, the year’s biggest gaming show which normally takes place in June - have been canceled.
  • - These trade events are vital to the industry as they are where new consoles and games are launched, and ground-breaking partnerships are announced.
