# Gaming

Gaming is now larger than the sports, movie, and music industries combined. In 2021, the gaming industry was $180 billion dollars. This number is likely to grow as more developers come to market and as big players such as Apple, Google, and Meta get into the gaming business. Also, innovations in computing power, graphic design and internet speed allow games to become a more expansive and immersive experience.
