What Changes Are Coming for the Game Companies in The Future
Game companies have been around for a long time now, providing entertainment for both children and grownups alike. Having evolved significantly thru the decades, game development companies have come a long way from computer games to AR/VR devices. Game companies now take up increasingly complex game development projects in an endeavour to appeal to the ever-demanding audience. And, game development companies now spend millions of dollars on these, sometimes device-specific games because the industry has now grown exponentially.
Any good game development company understands that it is all about innovation, new technologies, new gadgets, new controls, and providing new experiences. With the world spending more and more time on their mobile phones, games have as big as 26% of the world’s population involved. Larger game development companies are now looking at some interesting trend changes coming their way.
Let’s take a look.
Streaming – This is no small buzz word. More and more large video game companies now want to stream games like a song or a movie. Project xCloud, a smart video game streaming service by Microsoft now makes it possible for players to stream their Xbox games to their PCs and also other devices. Similarly, many other bigger players now are enabling players to stream games without the need to buy a gaming console. Going ahead, subscription-based streaming will be the future, which will make it profitable for both the players and game development companies.
Innovations – There is no going around this one. VR, one such technical innovation is here to stay. Oculus VR is a subsidiary of Meta that is working on improving its headsets. Going beyond movies or music, video games now bring an immersive experience. With more such experimentation and innovation on the way, gamers will be able to use multiple consoles and take their gaming experience to a whole new level.
Merchandising – This was already there but it will become more prominent soon, be it t-shirts, mugs, hats, figures and more. Earlier only music or movies had such prominent merchandise to be attached to a project, now game development companies also want to go above and beyond. Games are now getting to the big screens thru movies and like the Halo series on Xbox, that went on to become novels and comics, there is a lot to look forward to.
Demographics – There is no market demography limitation anymore and games are more life like to everyone alike. Gaming has now also become pretty serious as players can get professional athlete visa to enter into other countries to play their games in tournaments. These wide-spread geographical boundary breaking games are now keeping game development companies busy.
