I. Introduction
The United States is one of the largest game markets in the world. According to Alltopeverything's statistics on the world's ten most profitable game companies in 2021, five of the shortlisted game companies are from the United States. In addition, according to the latest statistics from Newzoo, the U.S. game market will rank second in the world in size in 2022 (approximately US$47.6 billion), second only to the Chinese game market (US$50.2 billion). The market for console games and console games in the United States was greatly affected by the supply chain during the epidemic, causing overall game sales to decline significantly in 2021. Although it is lower than the Chinese game market in terms of population and game market size, the U.S. game market shows stronger growth momentum. At the same time, encouraging attitudes and loose policies towards emerging fields have also contributed to the gradual activation of the U.S. blockchain game market. This article will briefly introduce the U.S. traditional game market and the blockchain game market.
II. Overview of the U.S. Game Market
(1) The size of the U.S. game market and its global status: The game population is small, but the game market is large and growing rapidly
According to Newzoo's 2021 statistical report on global players, the total number of global players is about 3 billion, and the number of American gamers is about 212 million, accounting for only 7% of the global players. In terms of market size, the US game market accounts for 24% of the game market share.
In 2022, Newzoo predicts that the number of global players will climb to approximately 3.198 billion, and the global player distribution will remain almost unchanged. The number of US players will climb to 219 million, still accounting for 7% of global players. In terms of market size, the U.S. game market will see a year-on-year growth of 20.42% and is expected to account for 26% of the global game market, an increase of 8.33% from 2021 (from 24% to 26%). The U.S. game market has a unique structure, with console games, console games, and mobile games evenly dividing the market share. Therefore, we speculate that this significant overall market growth expectation may be due to the slowdown in the impact of the epidemic, which has increased the sales of console games and console games.
It is worth noting that Newzoo's statistics on the size of the game market only involve in-game consumer spending, excluding revenue from consoles, peripherals, hardware, advertising, etc. Since the structure of the US game market is different from that of other markets, more than 1/3 of consumption is contributed by consoles (peripherals) and related games, so this statistic underestimates the relative share of the US game market in the world to a certain extent. It is worth mentioning that in the top 10 rankings of global game companies' profits in 2022 based on public data statistics, 5 game manufacturers are from the United States, ranking 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 respectively. Note: This statistic includes consoles, peripherals, and advertising revenue.
(2) The structure of the US game market: The structure is different from that of the global game market, with console/device games being the backbone
According to Newzoo statistics, in 2022, mobile games accounted for 51% of the global game market share (mainly from the Asia-Pacific market), while console games accounted for only 27% of the market share (mainly from the North American market).
From the perspective of the global console game market, North America accounts for 38.2% of the users, while Japan and mainland China account for less than 10% of the global total users, at 6.6% and 2.0% respectively. Although Europe ranks first in the number of console game users, its market size ranks second, with a market share of 33.1%; on the contrary, the console game market share in North America (45.4%) is 12.3 percentage points higher than that in Europe. The third largest console game market is Japan, with a market share of 10.7%; the market share of mainland China is less than 1%.
The domestic game market in the United States has its own unique composition, and console games are the core contributor to sales in the domestic game market in the United States. In 2017, console game software sales accounted for 45% of the US game software market, mobile game software sales accounted for 32%, and computer game software sales accounted for 23%. With the rise of mobile games, the composition of the US game market has gradually changed to a certain extent, and it is expected to form a three-legged situation in the future.
As of the end of 2020, 75% of American households own a home game console, and 73% of players own their own game consoles. This shows that basic game consoles have a very high coverage rate among American players, and console/device games are the backbone of the US game market.
(3) Overview of local game players in the United States: The game coverage rate is high and has formed a culture. Players prefer high-quality games that are interesting and puzzle-solving.
1>Game penetration in the United States
In 2020, there were 214 million gamers in the United States, of which adults accounted for about 76%, and the gender of the gamers was relatively evenly distributed. In the United States, gaming is a national activity that is suitable for almost all age groups, and the penetration rate of American games is as high as 70%.
Market surveys show that games take up more leisure time for young people (10-35 years old) than any other electronic entertainment. For Americans aged 36-50, the time spent on games is equivalent to the time spent watching TV programs. Even for Americans aged 51-65, when choosing entertainment methods, they still allocate 12% of their time to games. This shows that games have a huge market and high adaptability in the United States. Games have become a culture in the United States, and the vast majority of players give positive emotional feedback to games.
2>Player game preferences
Compared with global players, American players clearly attach more importance to the fun and puzzle-solving nature of games.
The console games that American players like most are:
The most popular mobile games among US players:
American players' preferences for mobile game types are related to the platform. SensorTower has compared the game data on iOS and Google Play in 2022 and 2021. The statistics mainly cover downloads and game revenue. According to statistics, iOS players prefer sports (downloads increased by 14.3% year-on-year), shooting (downloads increased by (13%) year-on-year), and strategy games (downloads increased by 10% year-on-year), but arcade (downloads decreased by 5.3% year-on-year), board games (downloads decreased by 10.6% year-on-year) and strategy games (year-on-year increase of 10%). The growth is more obvious. Although the downloads of arcade games and board games have decreased significantly year-on-year, the reason for the year-on-year increase in revenue may be the head effect.
The downloads and revenue of Google Play games in 2022 have almost all dropped significantly compared with 2021, with only action games still seeing an increase in downloads. In terms of game revenue, only arcade games achieved a slight year-on-year growth (0.4%), and the revenue of other types of games all decreased significantly compared with 2021.
3. American blockchain game ecosystem
Development Trends of the US Game Market
From a historical perspective, from 2014 to 2020, revenue in the U.S. gaming sector continued to grow, but the growth rate gradually slowed down. At the same time, adventurous Americans began to focus on the blockchain gaming sector when the gaming sector fell into stagflation.
The following figure shows the top five game giants in the United States in terms of revenue in 2021 and their views and layout on the blockchain game field. We can conclude that the American game giants are generally open to blockchain games, among which Microsoft and Epic Games have made rapid progress. Microsoft and Take-Two Interactive have chosen to invest in the blockchain game field; while Epic Games has chosen to be more aggressive in publishing games and looking for partners in the blockchain game ecosystem. EA has chosen to actively observe and wait and see, while Activision Blizzard has a rather contradictory attitude towards the NFT and blockchain fields and is also in a wait-and-see state.

5. Summary
1. From the perspective of market size, the U.S. game market is currently the second largest game market in the world. The U.S. game market is expected to generate revenue of US$48.4 billion in 2022, accounting for 26% of the global market share, with a year-on-year increase of 8.33% compared to 2021. . It is worth noting that Newzoo’s statistics on market size exclude revenue from consoles, peripherals, hardware, etc., which underestimates the size of the U.S. game market to a certain extent. With such a high market share, it can still create high growth (second in the world) because the impact of the epidemic on the supply chain has slowed down, and the US console/device games will see a significant improvement. This area is the United States. The backbone of the gaming market. From the perspective of the scale of game players, the number of players in the United States is 219 million, which is only 7% of the global number of players. Therefore, the reason why the scale of the U.S. game market is so huge is except for the extremely high in-game consumption of local players (ARPPU ranks second in the world, only Second to Japanese players), the global sales of American game masterpieces may be a more important factor. ,
2. The structure of the US game market is different from the mainstream trend of the global game market. Console/device games are still the core force of the US game market. At the same time, the United States occupies half of the global market share of console/device games (48%). Therefore, the US game market is greatly affected by the epidemic supply chain.
3. Players’ attitude towards games is also one of the factors for the success of the US game market. The penetration rate of games in the US is as high as 70%, and the gender distribution of players is relatively even. Games are also an indispensable part of the leisure life of Americans aged 10-65. Device games have become popular games in the US, and 73% of American players own their own game consoles. In terms of game types, among console/device games, American players like puzzle, action and sports games; for mobile game players, they like sports, shooting and strategy games. In addition, the number of players and stickiness of iOS games are higher than those of Google Play games.
4. The blockchain gaming field has become an area of concern for American game manufacturers after the growth rate of the U.S. game market has gradually slowed down. Even the top five gaming giants in terms of revenue in 2021 and the top ten in the world are participating and watching this field to varying degrees.
5. Traditional American game giants have shown interest in the field of blockchain games. Even among the top five game companies in terms of game revenue, three have made arrangements for blockchain games: Microsoft and Take-Two Interactive have chosen to invest in blockchain game studios, and Epic Games has chosen to cooperate with Gala Games to develop its own blockchain game Grit.
6. In terms of blockchain game types, American blockchain game developers still prefer to develop open virtual real estate games. After experiencing the phenomenal projects The SandBox and Decentraland, game studios of all sizes still prefer games of this theme, and subsequently released Upland, Otherside, etc. Open virtual land creation and simulation business games account for more than 33% of the game types we counted.
7. Another feature of the US blockchain game ecosystem is that the game platforms and aggregator projects are relatively mature. Take Gala Games and Joyride as examples. Gala Games actively cooperates with Web2 and Web3 game studios to make its platform cover various types of games; Joyride has a relatively comprehensive range of casual games.
8. In the past two years, blockchain game studios have sprung up in the United States, and entrepreneurs are enthusiastic, which is also a feature of the American blockchain game ecosystem. Many games are still in the development stage, so the blockchain games in the United States are still in the early stages, and the future is worth looking forward to.
