Since 2021, PC gaming has been on the upswing. The platform now claims 53% of nonmobile gaming sales, according to a report from investment research firm Epyllion, compared to 47% for consoles.

Epyllion CEO Matthew Ball posted a slideshow of his company's State of Video Gaming in 2025 report, in which he details the way that console gaming has stagnated over the last few years as game consoles from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo have aged, and more gamers have taken to playing cross-platform games on PCs.

The Epyllion report suggests console gaming has slowed down as cross-platforming gaming has taken off, and as game consoles such as the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 generations have aged. Sony released a new Pro version of its PlayStation 5 in late 2024 and Nintendo finally unveiled its Switch 2 game console Thursday, with more details to come in April.


Ball says PC gamers have access to a much larger library of games, more backward compatibility, the ability to do more multitasking while gaming and more top-range performance than consoles can provide. "Intensifying PC advantages" include more access to formerly console-exclusive games, such as The Last of Us, and games such as Roblox, which offers some premium content only on PC. There's also the rise of portable Windows and Steam devices such as Valve's Steam Deck.


I believe GTA V RP presented PC gaming to the masses and now people see the benefit overall.

Gaming PC have issues i hate dealing with. I bought a very expensive set up. Had to take it in to fixed 2 months in. because it stopped booting up.

Stopped booting up again a week later. Kept it as decor for a year until it suddenly booted up again on its own.

Had another one when i was a kid, but wasn't a financially secure back then. So could only afford the mimunum requirements for most games. Seemed like with every new release i had to go out a buy a new graphics card or some shyt in order to get it to work properly.

No worse feeling in the world as a kid is saving up your money for the newest game you've been wanting. and getting hung up on installation because of one issue or another. and being unable to play it that day.

Super frustrating, only cool thing i like about PC games, is i could customized the experience with mods and stuff. use to play the shyt out of jedi outcast with all sorts of mods on pc.

I prefer the guarantee of consoles now. I know when i cop one, i'm going to be able to play every release on it for the next 8 to 10 years without needing any upgrades or having any issues. (beyond developer issues.) PC gives you the capacity for peak performance and custom experience which is awesome and i miss certainly. But i'm not up for dealing with the DIY nature of it anymore.

I love my gaming PC cause I built it. But I also have a PC to play when guests come over or I don't wanna sit at my computer desk. Variety is nice
