Global video game purchase revenue is projected to amount to 52.4 billion U.S. dollars in 2021. The market size of video game purchases is set to decline to 45.8 billion U.S. dollars per year by 2025 as free-to-play titles and in-game purchases are set to account for the majority of market revenues. Many major game publishers have started to include mobile and F2P titles in their content lineups, with Activision's Call of Duty Mobile being a current, commercially successful example.
