GAMIVO Highlights a Global Trend: Gamers Choose Budget-Friendly Titles
Analysis shows that most gamers buy games for up to 20 euros. According to data published by GAMIVO, over 71% of purchases fall into this segment.

After analyzing the data published by GAMIVO.com, a platform for gamers, it was found that the 10-20 euro segment is the most popular among gamers worldwide. As much as 25.2% of purchases fall into this category. Slightly less favored are the releases for 5 to 10 euros (23.6%) and the cheapest ones, costing no more than 5 euros (22.4%).
The number of purchases drops noticeably after crossing the 20-euro threshold. Video Games [https://www.gamivo.com/store/games] from 20 to 30 euros are responsible for 12.81% of orders. The share decreases to 9% for the 30-45 euro segment. Titles over 45 euros account for only 7% of purchases.

Those statistics prove that gamers tend to pick discounted games and indie titles. There are various reasons for this trend. For instance, the increase in the price of the biggest AAA releases from 60 to 70 dollars has played a considerable role.
"Even such a high price isn't enough to deter many gamers. As a result, we observe that the average basket value usually increases during the period of significant premieres. Playing a newly released game has a wide array of advantages because it helps avoid spoilers plaguing the web. It also lets you experience something new together with other fans. On the other hand, most new games feature annoying bugs that are eliminated until the first discount. That is why many players prefer to hold off on buying for some time. There are myriads of great video games worth playing, so postponing the purchase isn't particularly challenging," explains Mateusz Smiezewski, GAMIVO's CEO.

Players are frugal
GAMIVO also demonstrated data regarding selected markets. Among them, Mexico is the country where players most often buy games under 20 euros (84%). Brazil comes second (80.7%), while Poland is third (77%). Italy stands on the opposite side of the list. 35.6% of video games bought by Italian players cost 20 euros or more. Right behind them are Germans (35.3%), Dutch (34.8%), Spanish (30.2%), and French (30%). Less than 30% of video games purchased by gamers from the USA and United Kingdom cost over 20 euros. That shows that even players from countries considered wealthy don't mind getting discounted releases.
"The fact that players buy cheaper games doesn't mean they pick worse titles. Video game pricing is unique compared to other media. We can find a lot of outstanding indie releases in the lower-price segments. Balatro, universally considered one of the best games of 2024, is a prime example, as its official price is 13.99 euros. Discounted AAA hits are another significant group of games under 20 euros. Besides old classics, players may get titles that dominated bestseller lists a year or two earlier," clarifies Mateusz Smiezewski.

It's worth waiting
Publishers' pricing is a key factor. Analysis of popular AAA games shows players wait about 100 days for the first discount, 155 days for the second, and 198 days for the third. Waiting 240 days often brings even better deals. Discounts vary by title and publisher strategy; some games drop in price within a month, others take longer. However, every game's price eventually drops.
It's good to be a gamer
The recent Newzoo report shows that free-to-play releases, including Overwatch, League of Legends, Roblox, Fortnite, and Apex Legends, are among the most played titles. Those are renowned and constantly improved games, so players can have a quality product without spending a dime. The most popular free titles are multiplayer games, so players looking for a solo experience won't be eager to give them a shot. They can visit GAMIVO.com [https://www.gamivo.com/] other platforms offering discounts and giveaways, letting players get award-winning games without breaking the bank. With so many great titles released each year, finding a cheaper alternative to new AAA blockbusters is easy.

Given all those circumstances, it's not surprising that a vast majority of players choose to keep themselves under the 20-dollar bar.
