Pre-owned video game sales are in freefall in the UK, according to a new report.
Ukie - the trade body for the UK's games and interactive entertainment industry - released new data today revealing pre-owned software sales were down 30.8 per cent year-on-year in the UK, from a value of 98.2m in 2017 to 67.9m in 2018.
The significant drop in pre-owned game sales comes amid an uptick for the UK games market overall. Software revenues exceeded 4bn for the first time, up just over 10 per cent, and hardware was up 10.7 per cent to 1.57bn.
