The evolution and spread of AR, VR, AI, and blockchain have made unprecedented gaming experiences possible.
New experiences with technological advances
The current gaming industry is about to enter a new phase due to the spread of AR and VR mentioned above, and the rise of blockchain games.
For example, with VR, the range of gaming experiences has expanded due to improved performance such as image quality and immersion, and the enrichment of content. In addition, the emergence of devices that reproduce not only vision but also touch and smell allows players to enjoy more realistic experiences in virtual space.
In AR, the number of games played through smartphones is increasing, and new gameplay styles are emerging in which the real world and digital information are fused through AR glasses and smart glasses. There are a wide variety of games, such as games where you progress through quests while walking around the city, and games where you interact with characters in a virtual space indoors.
In addition, "cloud gaming" is also showing signs of becoming more popular. Cloud gaming is a technology that streams high-quality games over the internet, allowing players to enjoy games on a variety of devices without the need for high-performance hardware.
In recent years, with the spread of 5G, services related to cloud gaming have evolved, enabling high-speed, high-quality gaming experiences. From a developer's perspective, it allows games to be provided without relying on the platform, and players can now play games regardless of location, which expands the scope of possibilities for both parties.
In addition, subscription-based cloud gaming services are also on the rise, and players can enjoy many games for a fixed fee, which also has economic benefits.
