The changing gaming landscape and what the future holds

Over the years how gamers like to play games has changed. PC, mobile, video and console gaming keep on developing on account of technological leaps, such as 3D illustrations, Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence, as does the equipment to play them. There are different reasons for this changing landscape. One reason being the experience gamers receive from these various mediums and devices. There is also a clear upgrade path for many gamers. Many may start as mobile gamers and move to PC gaming, which requires seriousness compared to playing the game on mobile devices.

Mobile gaming has been growing rapidly and is great for entertaining consumers or passing time while traveling and consoles are great as an all-rounder solution for budget gaming while sacrificing graphics performance. Considering the lower disposable incomes of the masses across the country, most are not comfortable spending a significant amount on PCs, or even consoles every couple of years.

Console gaming is more of an upper class phenomenon and not all can afford the experience of console gaming. For VR and Metaverse, it is basically about the experience with physical and virtual realities merging to offer an immersive experience to the gamers. The user can literally have the experience of being inside the environment and the kind of experience you can have from the metaverse is not possible with many of the current equipment that the gamers have. Hardware and software companies are working to bring in games and hardware to be ready for the metaverse experience which will further strengthen the gaming industry.
