The ongoing fall sale keeps the German game retail market firmly in its grip, and Steam is benefiting from a broad wave of discounts that is drawing players into its store in droves. Deal coverage around the fall sale is also putting GOG more in the spotlight.
Epic Games is pushing back with its offering as a Steam rival and release platform, keeping it in the conversation. The Microsoft Store continues to be mentioned as the PC channel of the major publishers, while Ubisoft's store and launcher discussions put self-publishing on the agenda. On consoles, the PlayStation Store remains present for current releases, and the Nintendo eShop appears in release and sales roundups. Battle.net and the EA app hold their ground as standalone launchers for PC gamers, and Humble Bundle scores with deals and game bundles.
In the end, the market is splitting between large platforms and proprietary launchers. For buyers, price comparison is therefore more worthwhile than ever, and anyone who wants a broad game library often has to maintain several accounts.
