That’s according to the latest annual State of the Game Industry survey, which is managed by the Game Developers Conference.
The survey, which questions more than 2,300 games industry professionals around the world, asked its respondents to list which platforms interest them most a developer at the moment.
Respondents were allowed to choose as many options as possible, meaning they didn’t have to choose one platform over the other.
80% of respondents said they were interested in developing a game on PC, by far the most popular choice.
However, whereas 40% said they were interested in making PS5 games, and around the same (39%) said the same about Switch 2, only 20% chose Xbox Series X/S as an option.
This makes it closer, in terms of developer popularity, to Android (16%), iOS (16%) or the original Switch (13%) then the other current-gen consoles.
The results suggest a change in attitude towards Microsoft‘s console, given that 40% of respondents said their last project was released on Xbox Series X/S (versus 47% on PS5).
