Many people cannot imagine their day passing without playing their favourite games. It is a time of comfort and relaxation that feeds our brains with happy hormones. Pandemic revolutionised the gaming industry, increasing the number of players and startups in the market.

With various upcoming trends and the latest technological advancements that will develop the gaming industry, even more, there is a bright future for all gamers and this will make the gaming industry evolve and prosper.

Some of the predictions for the gaming industry are:-

1.  Cloud gaming to become a more adaptive platform–  Many cloud gaming companies are working to clear in order to become truly mainstream and to be able to offer smooth, non-laggy gaming experiences to its users without the use of wifi! This process will take some time but is a possibility in the near future.

2. Virtual reality (VR) machines

We never cease upgrading the equipment and tools we utilise to improve our gaming experience. We can now experience real-life sensations in games that started with square figures and two-dimensional movements.

For many gamers, virtual reality machines have become essential pieces of equipment. We will be more active and feel like the main character by modifying the usual playing approach with the help of advanced VR machines.

3. Streaming is becoming more progressive.

Simultaneously with the expansion of the gaming community, the number of spectators who do not actively participate in the games also increases. People appreciate watching skilled, entertaining streamers, which generates substantial cash for their creators. Therefore, in the future, the streaming methods will become more innovative to encourage more and more people to participate.

4. Better competitions

Esports are exciting competitions where the finest players face off against one another. In addition to the competitiveness, there is a great deal of money involved in these tournaments, so participants can make a great deal. This is extremely entertaining for the audience, resulting in a win-win situation. According to industry statistics, the gaming sector is expected to increase at a 9.17% annual pace from 2020- 2025.

5. Upgrades for Gaming Consoles

Every year, Microsoft Xbox, Sony PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch receive upgrades. These include new hardware upgrades like RAM, graphics cards, and other technical aspects. All of this has revitalised the gaming industry, both on the software and hardware levels. Aside from that, new companies such as Apple and Google are entering the market with products such as the Apple TV 4K and the Google Stadia streaming service. These updates will ensure that the gaming industry keeps up with the latest, innovative technologies and moves towards advancement at every level.

6. The Real Will Blend With The Virtual In Mixed Reality

Developers are likely to create games for new wearables that are as popular as mobile phones. The gaming industry anticipates the development of smart contact lenses that will bridge the gap between the virtual and real worlds.

As desktop input devices, the keyboard and mouse will eventually become obsolete. Graphics processing will also be moved to the server, making mobile gaming more feasible. We will be able to use augmented reality devices that provide smarter experiences for the first time.

Real-time ray tracing and smart contact lenses will be critical in mixed reality. Once a contact lens or similar technology is developed, the popularity of mixed reality games will skyrocket. These wearables will seamlessly blend the virtual and real worlds.

Merchandising

Because of the high production expenses, the video game industry, much like the entertainment industry in Hollywood, wants to generate more cash from its intellectual property. There is currently a variety of merchandise available, including t-shirts, action figures, hats, mugs, and more. It’s possible that every other successful video game franchise may eventually adopt this strategy.

In point of fact, the well-known video game Assassin’s Creed, created by Ubisoft and published as a video game, was adapted into a film in 2016 and starred well-known actors. The iconic Sonic the Hedgehog video game was adapted into a film by Sega in the year 2020. The film, which included a number of well-known actors, was a commercial and critical success, and it broke the record for the largest opening weekend for a film based on a video game. Therefore, the gaming industry in the future is likely to engage in more merchandising activities.
