The video game industry is expected to reach new heights of growth in upcoming years, thanks to the release of more expensive, high-profile games and next-generation platforms, after a slow and sluggish 2022. In fact, 2023 is probably going to be a turning point in the industry as long as publishers keep releasing new "triple-A games," which are the finest games of their kind.
