Introduction to Cloud Gaming and its future

• Cloud gaming is not that expensive compared to traditional gaming. This is because you can play games on your preferred devices. You don’t have to buy expensive hardware or gaming console. Furthermore, it cuts down the cost of upgrading and maintenance. Though it is less expensive, you need to pay for the games you want to play and are not available for free. Furthermore, if you want to play games that need specific devices or versions, you have to pay to upgrade your device.
• Secondly, you can play cloud games anytime and anywhere. With the launch of gaming laptops, you don’t have to carry a large gaming console everywhere you go. Still, you will require light-speed internet for this. Thus, high-speed Wi-fi or internet connection is necessary to play cloud games.
• There are multiple cloud gaming platforms available like Steam, Amazon Luna, Google Stadia, etc. Thus, you can choose the one that matches your gaming requirement. But, there may be a possibility that you will not be able to find some games that you want to play on all of these platforms.

• The servers that host cloud-based gaming systems are safe for user information. Also, data is sent through encrypted channels, making hacking completely impossible. Furthermore, cloud storage for games removes the need for constant backups.

There are several submarkets within the global cloud gaming market, each categorizing to a different set of players, platforms, and regions. Markets may be broken down further into Video Streaming, each of which serves distinct purposes. The global gaming market is segmented into smartphones, tablets, personal computers and smart televisions. Furthermore, the gaming market is broken down into geographical regions. The rise in popularity of online gaming, and the widespread availability of reliable internet connectivity make North America a likely gaming market leader. In Asia Pacific, the demand for online gaming is at its peak due to South Korea, India, China and Japan.

A.R., V.R., and 5G are just a few examples of technical breakthroughs that are directly responsible for the explosion in the popularity of playing games on the cloud. In addition to this, the increase in the development and launch of metaverse games has contributed to the market of cloud games.

Furthermore, with the introduction of 5G, there is a notable rise in the mobile gaming and technology market. Ericsson predicts that by 2026, there will be 3.573 billion 5G mobile subscribers globally. Thus, we can expect that mobile gaming will overtake desktop gaming in near future.

Online gaming players want entertainment that contributes to their personal growth, social groups, and financial well-being. With so many benefits for both players and developers, cloud gaming is indeed the future of the video game business. The level of competition in the market will also have a major impact on pricing in future. With the emergence of increasingly advanced technology and techniques, experts think it will be practically difficult for the gaming sector ever to experience a fall. Furthermore, there will be a rise in investment in gaming cafes and gaming rooms. This will also eliminate the need for devices to play online games. As the gaming industry is continuously evolving in the metaverse, there is no reason to expect a slowdown in the worldwide gaming market in the foreseeable future.
