According to market intelligence firm Newzoo, there are now an estimated 908 million PC gamers globally, and a staggering 92% of our playtime is spent on games older than two years. Between January and December 2024, 67% of all PC gaming hours were spent on titles six years old or more, and another 25% on games aged two to five years. So its presence in the "older games" category fits the broader trend: PC gamers keep returning to what’s familiar, polished, and already part of their digital routine. PC gaming, more than any other platform, makes it easy to run older games, find free-to-play titles, and grab classics on sale for just a few dollars.
