The UK gaming market is now worth a record £5.7bn - in part thanks to titles like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite. The two online-only games, released in 2018, helped push revenues for gaming software to a record £2bn - according to Ukie, the trade body for UK gaming which compiles the figures.But virtual reality has had a tougher time - with sales down 20% since 2017.

Never understood how people can spend vast amounts of money on it! Each to our own i suppose just dont get it?

What a waste of human efforts and country, if not planet, resources!

Lot of money in marketing gambling for kids.

New companies in natural (unobtrusive) programmatic in game advertising are shooting up in value. Bidstack for example, UK company up nearly 14% just today. They are first to market in a multi billion dollar industry. Expansion opportunities are almost limitless bids

Not surprised really the world is in such a sorry state, escaping to virtual worlds seems like a good tactic

The games that Theresa May is playing are worth far more! 😡
