PC gaming is growing, but it isn't because of Dota 2 and Fortnite

Newzoo’s 2026 report says PC gaming is on track to overtake console revenue by 2028.

In 2025, 56% of PC revenue came from games outside the top 20, showing long-tail titles are driving growth.

PC playtime is also rising, especially for lower-tier games.

RPGs and adventure games are gaining share, while shooters and hero shooters are losing ground.

The trend suggests PC growth is being powered by a broader, more diverse game catalog.
