The research explores how players spend, pay and engage with gaming experiences, and highlights growing demand for faster, more secure and more flexible payment options.<\/p>\n<p><b>Among the report&#8217;s findings:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nGaming is a regular part of entertainment spending, with nearly three in ten gamers (29%) identifying as high-to-very-high monthly spenders.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nGaming spending extends well beyond the game itself, with mobile games (53%), full digital games (43%) and gaming subscriptions (39%) among the most commonly purchased products.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nPayment choice is increasingly important, with debit cards (41%), digital wallets, such as Skrill (35%), mobile wallets (34%) and credit cards (32%) all widely used by gamers.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nCheckout friction is widespread, with 64% of gamers reporting that they have abandoned a gaming purchase due to payment issues.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nSecurity remains a major consideration, with 36% ranking fraud protection as their most important payment factor and 65% saying fraud concerns sometimes make them hesitate before making a purchase.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\nWallet-based experiences have strong appeal, with 84% of gamers interested in a digital wallet that helps them manage gaming and entertainment purchases in one place.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n&#8220;Gaming has become a continuous spending experience driven by subscriptions, digital content, creator ecosystems and ongoing player engagement,&#8221; said Bob Legters, Chief Product Officer at Paysafe. &#8220;As a result, payments play a bigger role than ever in shaping the overall player experience. Our research shows gamers want payment journeys that are seamless, secure and tailored to their preferences. For publishers and platforms, reducing friction at checkout and providing greater payment choice can help unlock revenue opportunities while strengthening player loyalty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe research also highlights the link between payment performance and spending behaviour. More than two-thirds (68%) of gamers say frictionless payment experiences help them fully enjoy gaming, while nearly half (46%) say they would spend more on gaming if checkout were faster or easier.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs gaming continues to expand across platforms, content formats and digital communities, payments are becoming an increasingly important part of how players discover, purchase and engage with gaming experiences. Businesses that prioritise convenience, security and payment flexibility will be better positioned to meet evolving player expectations and capture a greater share of gaming spend.<\/p>\n<p>\nTo learn more about gaming spending habits, payment preferences, checkout friction and the growing demand for wallet-based experiences, download <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.paysafe.com%2Fen%2Fexperience-economy-report-gaming-2026%2F&amp;esheet=54594183&amp;newsitemid=20260825246156&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=The+Experience+Economy+Report+2026%3A+Video+Gaming&amp;index=3&amp;md5=74757888da34141adf662cc1faf5fa56\">The Experience Economy Report 2026: Video Gaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Notes to editors<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nThe report is based on research conducted by Sapio Research on behalf of Paysafe among 5,000 consumers who have played video games and made gaming-related purchases in the last 12 months.
