Game development platform trends revealed in GDC Europe 2014 Survey

Current European developer trends in relation to gaming platforms were revealed when the results of The GDC Europe State of the Industry 2014 Survey were published today.

 

Console wise, despite Microsoft’s strong showing at E3 a higher percentage of developers either were currently developing for the Playstation 4 or planned to for their next game, 18 per cent and 33 per cent respectively; as opposed to just 13 per cent currently developing for the Xbox One and 23 per cent planning to make their next game for Microsoft’s console.

Beating out the consoles though were the number of developers currently developing for PC and mobile, with 58 per cent working on a PC title and a massive 65 per cent developing a mobile title. Future development aims beat out the consoles too with 60 per cent looking at PC and 64 per cent at mobile.

 

Trends also suggested that while currently the percentage of crowd funded projects in Europe were low, almost 41 per cent of developers were considering using crowd funding to finance their next projects.

 

The full details of the survey can be found here on the Game Developers Conference website.
