- Consumers worldwide will spend over $160 billion on gaming in 2020. (pg. 28)
- Mobile gaming in 2019 saw $68.2 billion in revenue and accounted for 46% of the global gaming market revenue, commanding the lion’s share of all gaming revenue. (pg.29)

Steve Winburn, senior manager of Gaming Ecosystem at Arm, also published a blog post on the findings, discussing how 5G will be cloud gaming’s great enabler.
This week, Arm has also released ‘Performance Advisor’ as part of Arm Mobile Studio 2020.0, a new tool that can generate easy-to-read performance reports based on the rich technical performance data that can be gathered from platforms with Arm CPUs and GPUs.
