Over the past year, gaming companies have concluded deals worth $80 billion.

Gaming companies concluded deals worth $80 billion last year According to an analytical report, in 2025, the volume of transactions in the gaming industry reached almost $80 billion, which is 3.3 times higher than in 2024.

Most of this amount — $65.8 billion — came from mergers and acquisitions (M&A). This sharp growth is primarily due to the sale of Electronic Arts for $55 billion. Without this deal, the gap with the previous year would have been much smaller.

In second place in terms of volume were public offerings, which attracted $11.2 billion (a 12% increase compared to 2024). The biggest event in this category was GameStop's issuance of $3.55 billion in convertible bonds.

Private investments, on the other hand, fell by 45.8% to $2.6 billion, although there were signs of positive momentum towards the end of the year. The largest investment went to Turkish studio Good Job Games, which received $83 million in two rounds of financing.

A total of 677 deals were concluded in 2025: 450 private investments (a decrease of 6.6%), 172 M&A deals (an increase of 16.2%), and 55 public offerings (an increase of 7.8%).
