In 2023, combined physical and digital unit sales of video games in the United Kingdom came to 38 million units. This figure represents a 2.6 percent increase year-over-year from the 2022 video game sales and a significant decline from the 2020 peak due to COVID-19 restrictions and several new console releases during that year. The majority of gaming sales in the UK were digital.
