German Games Industry: Economically More Optimistic, but Disappointed by Politics
The German games industry is not optimistic about 2025, but the latest game survey indicates a slightly more positive outlook among its members. However, there was a great deal of shaking of heads in the direction of politics.
The bad news in the international games industry, but also from Germany, has not led to a fundamental improvement in the mood in the German games industry. This is the result of the latest industry barometer, which the game association has now published. 45 percent of those surveyed expect the industry to develop worse in 2025, only 17 percent expect a better economic development. Compared to the previous year, however, the data is better: at that time, 54 percent expected the economy to perform worse and only 12 percent expected it to improve.
