A recent survey of 3,000 game developers reveals a significant shift in platform preference. A substantial 80% now favor PC development over consoles. This marks a considerable increase from 2021, where only 58% prioritized PCs. By 2024, that number had risen to 66%, highlighting the burgeoning interest in the PC gaming market.
