Frostbite Faces Tough Competition in the Game Engines Market
According to a Polaris Market Research report, the global market size/share for game engines reached USD 2,389.77 million in 2022. The study further indicates a projected compound annual growth rate of 17.1%, foreseeing the market to reach USD 11,615.51 million by 2032.
In 2022, the solutions segment dominated the market share, primarily due to the development of high-quality games. Key market leaders include Amazon (AMZN - Free Report) Lumberyard, Unity Software (U - Free Report) , Tencent’s (TCEHY - Free Report) Unreal Engine and Frostbite.
Amazon Lumberyard is a game engine crafted by Amazon and established in 2016.

Its capabilities span the development of various game genres and it has established a robust reputation for mobile game development on the Android platform.
Unreal Engine, created by Epic Games in 1998, is a premier game engine. It is renowned for its thorough documentation and user-friendly interface. Its versatility allows the development of various game types, spanning from console to mobile platforms, including Android and iOS. Furthermore, its applicability extends beyond the realm of game development, reaching industries such as automotive. It is widely adopted, with everyone from AAA game developers to indie studios leveraging its capabilities.
Frostbite constantly updates its technology to stay ahead of the competition and develop games, which are as realistic as possible. This is expected to aid the company’s top-line growth in fiscal 2025.
