Big tech presence in video gaming by segment 2024

As of September 2024, Microsoft, Sony, and Valve are the tech and gaming companies with the most comprehensive gaming segment coverage

However, how are other big tech companies faring in the gaming segment? Stronger or weaker than you might think, depending on the perspective. While Meta is not particularly known as a gaming giant, the social media and advertising platform still has products and services available in several gaming segments. And while Apple generates significant revenue from gaming apps in its store, the company's major gaming features are the Apple App Store, its subscription service Apple Arcade, as well as its Vision Pro AR/VR headset.
