The Entertainment Software Association (ESA) warned against potential tariffs imposed by President Trump on video games, stating that such measures could significantly affect both the industry and consumers in the U.S. The association represents major video game publishers and has emphasized the need for consultation with the private sector to prevent harm to this vital segment of entertainment. As the tariffs are set to take effect on February 4, 2025, the ESA urges coordination to sustain the industry's growth and mitigate adverse effects on Americans of all ages.
Video games are one of the most popular and beloved forms of entertainment for Americans of all ages. Tariffs on video game devices and related products would negatively impact hundreds of millions of Americans.
We urge the administration to consult with the private sector in a transparent process to avoid causing significant harm to everyday Americans and to one of the fastest growing entertainment sectors in the United States.
