Games industry digital spending continued to grow despite a deep drop in console spending in February, according to market intelligence firm Superdata.
The group found that worldwide digital games spending in February totalled $9.2 billion, up 4% year-over-year.
Mobile revenue drove that increase with a 16% year-over-year increase, more than offsetting declines in PC spending (down 6%) and consoles (down 22%).
Superdata blamed the lower console revenues on a light release slate this year running into a tough comparison with last February, which saw the launches of Apex Legends and Anthem.
