Key stat: Following nearly 25% growth in 2023, US game ad revenues will total $8.59 billion this year, a growth of 6.7% over 2023, per our March 2024 forecast.
Beyond the chart:
US game ad revenues won’t cross the $10 billion mark until 2026, and gaming’s share of digital ad spend is decreasing, as noted in our US In-Game Ad Revenues Forecast 2024 report.
Most in-game ad spend goes to mobile, and most of the ads are bought by game developers.
Nonetheless, advertisers should pay attention as intrinsic ads, which appear in games themselves, and programmatic ads increase and as e-sports and other forms of gaming video content take off on YouTube and Twitch.
