AAA Dominance Is Eroding: 56% of PC Gaming Revenue Now Goes to Games Outside the Top 20 https://wccftech.com/aaa-dominance-e...evenue-top-20/

“ A new report published today by market analyst firm Newzoo suggests a structural shift in the PC and console gaming market: while the biggest AAA titles still dominate, a growing share of both playtime and revenue is flowing to games ranked outside the Top 20, with the trend most pronounced on the PC platform.

The headline figure is striking. In Western markets (US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain), titles ranked 21st and below accounted for 56% of total PC gaming revenue in 2025, up from 48% in 2022. That means the majority of money spent on PC games now goes to titles outside the top tier — a meaningful inversion compared to just three years ago. Console platforms are moving in the same direction, but more slowly: titles outside the Top 20 represented 38% of PlayStation revenue and 35% of Xbox revenue in 2025.”
