If you’re into gaming, then why not start investing in the industry? Experts claim that the sector is worth a whopping $180 billion, that’s more than the global movie and North American sports industry combined.

Microsoft’s Xbox is one of the leading consoles in the space, but there are still plenty of U.S. listed video game stocks to look out for. Here’s a list of just some of the potential ones you could buy right on the U.S. stock market.
