Belgian consumers purchased fewer games and consoles in 2025, according to recent data.
Despite the overall decline in hardware and software sales, certain titles proved particularly popular with Belgian gamers. The most purchased games included EA Sports FC 25, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, and Grand Theft Auto V. Console sales were led by PlayStation 5, followed by Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch.
The shift in purchasing habits reflects broader trends in the entertainment industry, as consumers increasingly explore subscription services and mobile gaming options. This trend highlights the evolving landscape of the gaming market and the need for developers and publishers to adapt to changing consumer preferences.
Data indicates a decrease in spending on both physical and digital game copies. However, spending on in-game purchases and microtransactions remained relatively stable, suggesting a continued appetite for gaming content among Belgian players.
