Of course, you can’t really forget about the sensational Flight Simulator that was estimated to be one of the most expensive gaming projects of all time. Microsoft is definitely a king when it comes to technology and we obviously can’t forget about the brand new Xbox consoles that have been ruling the 4K game with its latest technology. However, now you can buy a variety of cheap game deals on these titles.
Nintendo

The Pokemon franchise has been out and around for as long as I can remember with a lot of great titles under its name, racking up millions and millions of players from each and every generation. Some of us literally weren’t even born when the Pokemon franchise was released and it’s still going strong with a bright future ahead of it.

The Chinese video game company owns a few of the most famous multiplayer games like League of Legends, PUBG, Honor of Kings, and Ring of Elysium. Founded in 1998, Tencent has come a long way in managing to beat some big names in the industry, with a revenue of about $13.9 billion, Tencent is the second most successful video game developer in the gaming business.
Although Tencent wasn’t a popular name before the titles such as PUBG and LOL, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it one of THE MOST successful game developers of the modern age. Literally, every other title that gets released under the umbrella of Tencent booms in the world with a huge player base. And I can only imagine how much more would gamers would this company reach by with LOL for mobile.
Sony

Sony has managed to stay on the top of the list for quite a while now and with the release of Ps5, the Japanese tech giant busted all charts and went on to become the most successful video game developer in 2021. Sony not only produces consoles but also makes exclusive games for them which are always a treat to play, with the staggering revenue of 25 million coming solely from the games sector.
The reason why I think Sony still manages to stay ahead of its competition is by releasing titles that are exclusive to their own gaming consoles line. There’s no doubt that many of these titles are literally the best of the best and you just can’t resist buying these games.
The Gaming Market has easily surpassed most of the other entertainment industries for the very right reasons. Some of the credits for this incredible boom definitely go to the Pandemic, which brought in a ton of people into the market.
