Hi everyone,<\/p>\n
I\u2019m working on my Bachelor\u2019s thesis, and I\u2019m looking for a real-world dataset about video games for analysis and visualization purposes. Ideally, the dataset should include as many of the following attributes as possible:<\/p>\n
Basic information
\u2022 Game title
\u2022 Platform (e.g., PC, PlayStation, Xbox)
\u2022 Release year and release region
\u2022 Genre
\u2022 Publisher
\u2022 Developer
\u2022 Price at release<\/p>\n
Sales and market data
\u2022 Global sales and\/or sales by region (NA, EU, JP, others)
\u2022 Digital vs. physical sales
\u2022 Number of copies sold in the first week
\u2022 Total revenue vs. number of units sold
\u2022 Pricing strategy (standard, deluxe edition, DLC bundles)<\/p>\n
Game features and technical details
\u2022 Game mode (single-player, multiplayer, co-op)
\u2022 Game engine (Unreal, Unity, custom engine)
\u2022 Open world vs. linear gameplay (yes\/no)
\u2022 Average gameplay length (hours to finish)
\u2022 Number of missions\/levels<\/p>\n
\u2022 Indie game X non-Indie (yes\/no)<\/p>\n
Ratings and popularity
\u2022 Critic rating and user rating (e.g., Metacritic, Steam reviews)
\u2022 Number of reviews<\/p>\n
\u2022 Number of active players
\u2022 Popularity on social media (mentions, Twitch\/YouTube views)
\u2022 Marketing budget (if available)<\/p>\n
Audience and regulations
\u2022 Age rating (PEGI, ESRB)
\u2022 Regional restrictions (e.g., censorship in certain countries)<\/p>\n
Lifecycle data
\u2022 Announcement date
\u2022 Release date(s) (if different per region)
\u2022 Number of patches\/DLCs released after launch<\/p>\n
I\u2019m open to either a single comprehensive dataset or multiple datasets that can be merged. Open-source or publicly available datasets would be ideal. I already found something on Kaggle with sales by region but I would love to get some bigger and different datasets ;))<\/p>\n
Any tips or links would be greatly appreciated!<\/p>\n
Thank you very much in advance!!!!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
