GAME PURCHASES ARE DOWN

The downward trend in game purchases continued in November 2023. A 2 percent decrease, combined with a 3 percent drop compared to January 2023, pointed to a 3 percent decline compared to November 2022. The rising exchange rate and the decision by some game companies to remove TL pricing played a significant role in this decline in game purchases.

While PC and console game purchases showed a decline compared to other months, mobile games entered an upward trend. In November 2023, mobile games became the most purchased category. During this period, the mobile games category maintained its status as the most purchased category for the last two years, breaking the downward trend of the previous two months and rising again.
