24% of all digital PC games in gamers’ libraries have never been played, reveals Ultra PC Gamer study

Ultra, a complete PC gaming hub created by AAA talent from companies such as Ubisoft, Playstation and Nintendo, has released the findings of its Ultra PC Gamer study. The study reveals that 24% of all digital PC games in gamers’ libraries have never been played, while 58% of PC gamers would sell their digital titles if they could.

The survey of 2,000 PC gamers across the US and UK reveals a desire for more flexibility in how they purchase, trade, and sell their digital video games. The secondary game marketplace, which gained popularity in playgrounds and workplaces during the CD-ROM era, contrasts with today’s digital landscape, where purchased game licenses are tied to a single account and often cost upwards of $70.
