Gaming and Instant gaming: differences, accessories and promotions

The industry of
gaming
represents one of the fastest growing industries globally.

A statistical analysis conducted by the portal
financesonline.com
reports how there were
“2.69 billion video gamers in the world in 2020. The figure will reach 3.07 billion in 2023, based on an annual growth rate of 5.6 percent.”

As evidence of the enormous expansion of the industry, especially in recent years, the
global turnover
, in 2020, reached
159.3 billion
; about half of which, according to data published by the above website, will come from China and the United States, the world’s two largest markets.

Gaming industry segments

The term ‘gaming’ identifies a rather broad commodity and business sector;

Five are identified in this regard
main segments
:

• PC games;
• Console games;
• Downloadable PC games;
• Games for smartphones and games for tablets.

Contrary to what one might think, the largest share of the market is made up of
smartphone games (40 percent)
, followed by those for
consoles
(28%).

The latter alone produced more than $90 billion in sales in 2020 worldwide, registering a
growth of 17.43 percent
over the previous year.

A 2020 study, conducted by the
Entertainment Software Association
, showed that, in the United States, the average age of gamers is rising, although the majority of gamers (38 percent) belong to the 18-34 age group.

At the same time, 6 percent are over the age of 65. Another factor in the industry’s growth has been the pandemic caused by Covid-19: from a survey conducted by
Morning Consult
in 2020 shows how 37 percent of respondents would spend more time on video games because of the pandemic.

Of course, on the sidelines of the market represented by gaming software and consoles, there is a commodity segment – no less indicative – consisting of
gadgets
e
accessories
.

This category includes
joypad
,
headsets
(including those with built-in microphones), harnesses, miniature video cameras (for professional gamers who broadcast their competitions on social media), ergonomic keyboards, both wired and wireless, as well as storage and backup devices for game data.

Instant Gaming: what it is and how it works

Instant Gaming is a website specializing in the resale of
CD-key
, that is, digital codes used to redeem a console or PC game. In addition:

• The codes for sale on the site are in turn purchased from authorized retailers such as Origin, Steam, Battle, Uplay, Microsoft Store or PlayStation Network.

• To purchase a code, you must create a personal account at instant-gaming.com (also available in Italian).
• Registered users can purchase the key they need, so they receive it very quickly (hence the name “instant gaming”).
• The purchased code can then be retrieved within one’s personal account, where one can also keep track of purchases already made.
• Codes already purchased are refundable, provided they have not already been used; if so, the site reserves ten days to verify that the key has not already been entered to unlock a video game.
• Visit our store and immerse yourself in the world of gaming.
