Despite a lackluster launch by Google Stadia, the cloud gaming market was worth $170 million in 2019, with an expected increase to around $4.8 billion by 2023. Now everyone is gaming more, and a recent survey suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic may be helping cloud gaming grow exponentially to meet that estimation. (see the full graphic below.) Piplsay polled 24,000 gamers to find that being stuck in lockdown caused 52% to look at cloud gaming and game streaming options more seriously. As a result, 44% of respondents are currently subscribed to a service, while an additional 23% may be getting on board soon. Among the current services available to the general public, PlayStation Now appears to be the favorite with 36% currently signed up. Xbox Game Pass, at 32%, is not far behind. The survey also found that 10% of respondents were signed up with Stadia, and an additional 5% with Nvidia's GeForce Now.
