In 2021, global video game purchase revenue is projected increase by merely 0.9 percent compared to the previous year and set to decline after this. The decline in game purchase revenues is offset by an increase in in-game player spending on loot boxes, digital currencies, battle packs, and DLC. 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.
