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.
