Gaming and video: complementary practices

Gamers, even the most avid ones, are also enthusiastic for video content: nearly all (92%) of them also watch at least one piece of video content every day, whether TV programmes, videos on the internet or content viewed on VoD/SVoD.

Certain platforms, such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, for example, have seized this opportunity, and now offer video games with their subscriptions. Moreover, the video game world also inspires the scenarios for series broadcast on such platforms. Two examples of this are The Witcher, broadcast on Netflix, and The Last of US, distributed by Amazon Prime Video.
