Thought it might be fun to track how much we spend per year on gaming stuff. Can be anything you want to include. Just games, subs as well, peripherals, new consoles etc. Can put in forecasted/pre ordered stuff or wait till the money has lost your purse.

Reserve your post and keep it updated!!

I'm already $60 from Steam sale. Switch 2. PS5 Pro. Lawyer fees when the wife has had enough and leaves me. Could be a pricey year.

$70 for Persona 3 Reload. Could have played on Game Pass, but decided to go for the platinum

Total so far: $130

 

[AJUMP23]

I will buy the new Nintendo console, and assume around $400 for that. Plus plenty of games purchased this year as well as Game Pass. Even though I don't pay for it. I use Reward points

P.S. I usually don't buy games since I work in the industry and get them for free. But sometimes the requests are not always fulfilled.

Spending a lot of money on gaming is a disturbing truth, blockbuster closing was a tragedy.

Sure,
$0.00 so far.
It will be easy for a while, with the bank account also at $0.00.

[Markio128]

Yikes, I dread to think. I’ll defo be picking up a Portal when they are back in stock, and ‘take my money’ if the PS5 Pro or Switch 2 is released. I’m going to be more selective with the games I buy though, to try and even things out a bit.

Oh god.

[Sleepwalker]

I expect it'll be less than a grand this year, unless Switch 2 comes in '24. If it does, my spending might be slightly higher.
