2020 in video games#Reactions to the George Floyd protests

{{Year nav topic5|2020|video games}}

In the video game industry, 2020 saw the launch of the next generation of video game consoles, with both Microsoft and Sony Interactive Entertainment having released the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 consoles, respectively, in November 2020. The industry was heavily affected by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which had begun in March and was characterized by COVID-19 lockdowns and remote work. While this caused numerous delays in software and hardware releases and the cancellation of live conferences and events in favor of virtual shows, it also created a boom for the industry as people turned to gaming as a means to pass the time. The industry also reacted to various political/cultural events.

Mobile gaming continued its growth as a major platform for video gaming; as part of this, Epic Games initiated the Epic Games v. Apple lawsuit over mobile app store revenue cut policies. Major planned acquisitions included Xbox Game Studios' acquisition of ZeniMax Media and its subsidiaries, and Electronic Arts outbidding Take-Two Interactive for Codemasters.{{cite news | url=https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/best-of-2020-the-trends-and-events-that-defined-the-year-for-game-devs | title=Best of 2020: The trends and events that defined the year for game devs | first1=Bryant | last1=Francis | first2=Alissa | last2=McAloon | work=Gamasutra | date=December 21, 2020 | access-date=December 21, 2020 | archive-date=December 21, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201221192156/https://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/375345/Best_of_2020_The_trends_and_events_that_defined_the_year_for_game_devs.php | url-status=live }}

Newzoo estimated the global market for video games in 2020 was {{USD|177.8 billion|long=no}}, a 23.1% increase from 2019, buoyed by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, Newzoo anticipated that the 2021 market will see a small decline as the world recovers from COVID-19 and spending on video games slows down, but otherwise the industry would remain on track to break {{USD|200 billion|long=no}} in revenue by 2023.{{cite web | url = https://venturebeat.com/2021/05/06/newzoo-global-game-market-will-shrink-in-2021-for-first-time-in-many-years/ | title = Newzoo: Global game market will shrink in 2021 for first time in many years | first = Dean | last = Takahashi | date = May 6, 2021 | accessdate = May 7, 2021 | work = Venture Beat | archive-date = May 7, 2021 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210507004234/https://venturebeat.com/2021/05/06/newzoo-global-game-market-will-shrink-in-2021-for-first-time-in-many-years/ | url-status = live }}

According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, while the overall global entertainment and media market dropped by 3.8% during 2020, the video game market grew by 10% over the year, due to the use of video games to help with social distancing during COVID-19 lockdowns.{{cite web | url = https://venturebeat.com/2021/07/11/pwc-games-grew-10-in-2020-and-will-grow-4-4-per-year-through-2025/ | title = PwC: Games grew 10% in 2020 and will grow 4.4% per year through 2025 | first = Dean | last = Takahashi | date = July 11, 2021 | access-date = July 11, 2021 | work = Venture Beat | archive-date = July 12, 2021 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210712040219/https://venturebeat.com/2021/07/11/pwc-games-grew-10-in-2020-and-will-grow-4-4-per-year-through-2025/ | url-status = live }}

{{Main|Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the video game industry}}

The highly contagious coronavirus disease 2019, first observed in China in December 2019, began a major outbreak across the world in January 2020, which is ongoing as of November 2021. Within China, steps to prevent spread of the disease came around such as large-scale quarantine of affected populations which have impacted production within the country. This has had a large number of impacts on social, medical, and economic systems worldwide. The video game industry has been impacted by the outbreak in various ways, most often due to concerns over travel to and from China or elsewhere, or related to slowdowns in manufacturing processes within China. Numerous games have been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and most industry events were cancelled or reformated into virtual showcases.

The video game industry in general was boosted by the pandemic, since people under pandemic lockdowns were forced to stay home, with video games becoming a popular pastime. Total spending in video games grew to {{USD|33.7 billion}} in the United States during the first nine months of 2020 compared to {{USD|27.9 billion}} for the same period in 2019.{{cite web | url = https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-video-game-demand-increases-new-xbox-playstation-consoles-20201111-x5n5wn6evbatnopqljolxx25aa-story.html | title = Consumers spent a record $11.2B on video games in the third quarter.
