Disney’s Epic Games Buy-In, GameStop’s $2.1B Stock Sale Boost Overall Video Game Investments To Two-Year High – Report


After "layoffs, closures and business turmoil" in the first half of 2024, the video game sector is showing signs of recovery, a new report finds.

DDM, short for Digital Development Management, is an agency providing representation, consulting and investment services, conducts regular studies of the sector. While trends are not especially encouraging in M&A and IPOs, Mitchell Reavis, Manager of the DDM Games Investment Review, sees reason for optimism about the rest of 2024 and 2025. As studio financials become more stable, we expect more values to be disclosed boosting the major exits that are currently in the works like EQT Group’s £2.2B ($2.8 billion) acquisition of Keywords Studios and Animoca Brands’ potential IPO in 2025.”
