In 2023, Russian gamers spent 161 billion rubles on computer games and in-game products. Almost a quarter of all spending went to intermediary services.
Most of the money was spent on single-player games. The most popular games among Russians include Atomic Heart, Hogwarts Legacy, Baldur’s Gate 3, writes Vedomosti with reference to the XYZ School.
In the survey, gamers were defined as those who played video games more than five hours a week. According to the company, there are about 26 million such people in Russia. The study revealed that each of these players spent 6.4 thousand rubles over the previous year.
