In this episode, Jens and his co-host Andy chat to Emmanuel “Manu” Rosier, Director of Market Intelligence at Newzoo, to unpack the latest trends from Newzoo’s PC and Console Gaming Report.

From the stickiness of legacy titles to the discoverability challenges facing new games, Manu offers a data-rich yet accessible look at what’s shaping player behaviour, market saturation, and platform dynamics in 2025. Hear why older games are dominating playtime, what the rise of co-op and cosy genres says about player preferences, and how developers can navigate increasingly crowded storefronts and shifting business models.
