The pandemic spike raised gaming revenue by 30% for games operated with Unity, and that bump is expected to stay, Lestiyo said. Furthermore, players are spending more on games than ever before. In 2021, the number of games made with Unity increased by 93%, and the number of new creators increased by 31%. Unity agrees with industry reports that gaming is on track to reach over $300 billion by 2027. It remains our mission to equip developers of all sizes with everything they need to build, scale, and manage their games successfully.” “This passion and resilience from our developer community fuels our commitment to make it as simple and as easy as possible for them to bring their vision to life. “In the face of high player demand and even greater player expectations during these unique times, we have seen creators step up and deliver incredibly inspiring, creative, and innovative ways for people to engage and connect through gaming,” said Lestiyo. Still, for 2021, Unity found that the number of people playing games is at far higher levels than they were pre-COVID and the industry has continued to step up to feed the demand, Lestiyo said. Unity’s data also shows that far from a “pandemic spike” the changes in the games industry appear to be long-lived and sustainable, though some metrics indicated that the level of play has subsided to pre-pandemic levels. Ingrid Lestiyo, general manager of Unity Operate Solutions, said in an interview with GamesBeat that the report highlights how gaming has brought people together and provided a human connection in a time of distance and isolation.
