Hardware
Video game hardware spending increased 22% vs YA, to $454M. This is the highest video game hardware spend for a June month since the $617M reached in June 2008. Double-digit percentage growth in PlayStation 5 spending offset declines in spending on Xbox Series and Switch.

PlayStation 5 was the best-selling hardware platform in both unit and dollar sales during June 2023. Consumer spending on PlayStation hardware reached its highest June total since 2008, while unit sales were the highest achieved since June 2010.

PlayStation 5 continues to lead the 2023 hardware market across both units and dollars.

Software
Diablo IV was the best-selling game of June, instantly becoming the #3 best-selling game of 2023 YTD. Four other new releases appeared among the top 20 best-sellers, including Final Fantasy XVI (#2), Street Fighter 6 (#3), F1 23 (#15) and Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life (#17).

Launch month sales of Street Fighter 6 more than doubled those of Street Fighter V (February 2016). Street Fighter 6 enjoyed the highest launch month dollar sales for a Head-to-Head Fighting game since the April 2019 launch of Mortal Kombat 11.

Mobile
Sensor Tower reports the top 10 games by U.S. consumer spending in June as: Candy Crush Saga, Roblox, Royal Match, Coin Master, Monopoly GO!, Gardenscapes, Township, Pokémon Go, Jackpot Party - Casino Slots, and Homescapes.

“Spend trends in June 2023 were relatively flat compared to June 2022. Between Gardenscapes, Township, and Homescapes, publisher Playrix now has three titles in the top ten (by consumer spend) in June,” said Abraham Yousef of Sensor Tower.

“Also moving into the top ten, Scopely’s Monopoly GO has been on a tear since its April 2023 release with June 2023 consumer spend up 56% MoM (month-over-month)” - Abraham Yousef, Sensor Tower.

Accessories
Accessories spending during June increased 14% when compared to a year ago, totaling $214 million. June’s top 4 best-selling accessories in dollar sales were PlayStation 5 DualSense gamepads, led by the DualSense Edge.

The PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge remains the best-selling accessory of 2023 in dollar sales..

Momentum continues to swing away from Sub/Add-On spend towards big new premium games

This is why subscription gaming will never take off, you would need a big AAA game on it every month in order for it to be attractive enough to keep around indefinitly
