The gaming industry is undergoing a major boom thanks to the rise of mobile gaming popularity in the past decade. There is serious potential in the market— it’s projected to gross $102 billion in revenue by 2017 largely in part due to mobile games and their ability to appeal to a mass audience. Gaming has already advanced mobile devices that house the highly engaging visual experience and with more demand comes a continual push to progress mobile technology.
A New Way to Connect
Currently, 90% of the world’s population has a mobile phone and 56% of those are smartphones. A new way to connect has emerged and people are embracing it in open arms and quick fingers. Smart devices like iPhones, Tablets and something in between like phablets (phone+tablet) aren’t just used for immediate communication in the traditional sense of calling another person, but enable the ability to link to the internet, opening a multitude of opportunities for users to communicate and connect with others at lightning speed via social networks, email servers and mobile applications.
Games create a world for players to get lost in, play in, compete in, win in — what many mobile games have brought to the table is a social component where participants can share their wins and experiences with others by posting accomplishments to a social media platform.
This type of complex integration between various applications calls for ample technology to support these functions in a seamless manner. Extremely powerful processing units have been developed to execute hi-speed operations.
For example, the quad core processor from Snapdragon lies inside mobile device hardware and helps produce crystal-clear smooth video streaming and graphics along with sharp sounds, while at the same time provides internal connections and commands.
Change in Accessibility
Mobile gaming and mobile device advancement go hand in hand. Game publishers have revised marketing strategies to make gaming free or little-to-nothing to play and congruently, this low-cost form of entertainment attracts a large amount of potential customers, thus, mobile devices have rapidly developed and are becoming more accessible to the everyday consumer.
These mobile devices are the definition of efficiency because they allow a person to do work and play all from one device. Gaming has introduced the possibility of a highly immersive gaming experience on a more conveniently sized mobile device and as a result, tech innovators have been driven to manufacture various formats of mobile devices to sell in the market.
Expansion in Audience & Demand for More
Since mobile devices have a massive audience, so too does mobile gaming. It’s fast becoming the most popular form of entertainment and new types and categories of mobile game applications are being formed by the second, appealing to almost every type of consumer.
From serious games, which are apps that help users learn specified areas of study such as education, nutrition and medicine, to social games requiring players collaborate with friends and contacts, and last but not least, classic video games made to fit the mobile format with visuals often better than the traditional console.
This expansion in demographic from niche (think nerdy, teen gamer) to everyone and their mom is a huge leap made possible by mobile gaming and the device technology required to house it.
Gaming has paved the way for mobile technology to include ultra-high resolution graphics, speedy connectivity and synced data. So long as mobile gaming continues to pull the interests from its wide-ranging demographic, the availability and accessibility of top-notch mobile devices will be ever-growing. It is truly mobile gaming for the win.
