TV ad impressions nearly doubled for gaming brands from March 16 through April 15 compared to the previous 30-day period, suggesting that even as much of the U.S. economy slows down due to the coronavirus pandemic, gaming is a bright spot for Americans sheltering at home who are seeking out an escape from boredom. Nintendo — a longtime chart leader — is still on top with 55.4% of the industry’s impressions, but other brands such as PlayStation are gaining ground.
GamesBeat has partnered with iSpot.tv, the always-on TV ad measurement and attribution company, to bring you a monthly report on TV advertising by the gaming industry. These are the ads, and by extension the games, that game makers have been putting major muscle behind.
Below are the top five most-seen gaming industry TV advertisers from March 16 through April 15.
