Enter a World of Games
You'll never look at mobile games the same way
Preface
Ever reminisce about the old days playing games in a cozy corner of your home without worries? Those moments have a special place in our hearts. We wondered what it would be like for the people creating those gems that hooked us for hours and hours. With each advancement in technology, creating games has never been easier.
While there are tons of AAA game development studios creating the next big billion-dollar franchises, Indie studios are making their mark across the gaming scene with games that give these franchises a run for their money.
Brave New Game world
Now thanks to fierce competition between makers of multiple game engines, creating games on your desired engine is pretty much free. You get the best tech out there for a fraction of revenues.
In recent years, mobile gaming has surpassed every form of entertainment in gross revenues and is poised to rapidly grow in the coming years. More players are using mobile devices to play games. On the go fun is very popular among all sorts of demographics and gives developers a wide range of userbase to target their title.
Statistics
Of course, to put this into context, any prospective developer needs to know what they are dealing with in terms of numbers. So here are some mind blowing statistics:
- There are 3.9 billion smartphone users worldwide (Newzoo)
- Mobile game consumer spend reached approximately $120 billion in 2021 (Data.ai)
- This is expected to reach $138 billion by 2025
- China, the US and Japan were top markets in 2021 by game revenues (Data.ai)
- 71% of Google Play’s revenue is estimated to come from mobile games by 2025 (Sensor Tower)
