Study: 35% of gamers use subscription services

Almost a third of gamers have a subscription to platforms with games. Moreover, 80% of them would like to use several subscription services at once. Such data was shared in a recent report by Simon-Kucher & Partners.

The survey was attended by 13 thousand people from 17 countries in the period from May to June this year.

The main thing from the study:

• the quality of games is the primary motive for buying a subscription. But gamers call the price, quantity and variety of games no less important reasons.;
