In the video game industry, 2021 saw the release of many new titles. The numerous delays in software and hardware releases due to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic heavily impacted development schedules, leading to several games being delayed into 2022 or even postponed indefinitely. Additionally, computer and console hardware were impacted by the combined effects of a semiconductor shortage (partially from post-COVID-19 effects) and a rising growth of bitcoin mining that strained the supply of critical components.{{cite web | url = https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-mining-adds-existing-shortage-120348278.html | title = Bitcoin Mining Adds to Existing Shortage in Semiconductor Market, Chip Prices Surge | first = Anatol | last = Antonovici | date = March 23, 2021 | accessdate = April 20, 2021 | work = Yahoo News | archive-date = April 20, 2021 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210420170757/https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-mining-adds-existing-shortage-120348278.html | url-status = live }}
