Gaming levels out
VC investment into gaming startups leveled out in Q1, with $1.3 billion invested across 153 deals, marking a QoQ increase of 22.1% in deal value but a decrease of just 0.6% in deal count.
Emerging technology analyst Eric Bellomo lays out several areas of opportunity and interest for investors, including the AR/VR space, which has been turbocharged by high-profile raises like Rokid Technology’s $70.1 million Series C.
Web3 gaming, while still nascent, has seen renewed interest from investors, while startups developing new ways to present in-game advertising are generating buzz. Our Q1 2024 Gaming Report highlights the key deals and players, trends, and emerging opportunities investors need to know.
