Additionally, mobile gaming has also seen a surge in popularity, with a large portion of the population engaging in casual gaming on their smartphones.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Lithuanian Games market is the shift towards digital distribution. More and more gamers are opting to purchase and download games digitally, rather than buying physical copies. This trend is driven by the convenience and accessibility of digital distribution platforms, as well as the increasing availability of high-speed internet in the country.

This trend is expected to continue as VR technology continues to improve and more games are developed specifically for VR platforms.

This has contributed to the growth of the industry and has helped to foster a sense of community among gamers. Additionally, the government has recognized the potential of the Games market and has been supportive of the industry, providing funding and incentives for game developers and promoting the growth of the sector.

Firstly, the country has experienced steady economic growth in recent years, which has led to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. This has allowed more people to afford gaming consoles, PCs, and smartphones, as well as the games themselves. Furthermore, the high level of internet penetration in Lithuania has played a significant role in the growth of the Games market. With a well-developed telecommunications infrastructure and widespread access to high-speed internet, Lithuanians are able to easily connect and engage in online gaming experiences.
