Video game retail sales revenue in the United Kingdom (UK) 2011-2021
In 2021, British consumers spent approximately 4.29 billion British pounds on video games. This represents a 3.3 percent decline from the previous year, which has been attributed to a lack of availability of the PlayStation 5, which was released at the end of 2020. With most other entertainment avenues in the country shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, video games experienced a boom in 2020.
