In April, the Japanese game publisher Nexon dethroned Take-Two Interactive as the world’s 2nd biggest video game maker. However, for Nexon, things didn’t remain the way they were for very long as the company slipped back to the 3rd position, with CD Projekt surpassing Ubisoft.

Moreover, these are the renowned companies that make and deliver games for our consoles and PCs. So, let’s check out the rankings of the world’s top gaming companies according to their market valuation.
