Examining the Benefits of Mobile Gaming

How many of these advantages do you identify with as a mobile user?

The mobile gaming craze is one that does not show signs of slowing down anytime soon. In fact, as of now there are an estimated 2.2 billion mobile gamers worldwide, or 28% of the cumulative world population. Whether with iOS, Android or another phone operating system, people all around the globe are causing the market to expand rapidly, creating an already multi-billion-dollar business that is growing by the day.

However, what specifically is causing this sector to explode in both revenue and number of users? In this article we take a look at a few reasons why mobile gaming is all the rage nowadays.

Convenience

It’s impossible to talk about the advantages of mobile gaming without drawing attention to its convenience factor. While top-notch next-generation consoles like PS5 and Xbox Series X are selling out like hotcakes, the one thing these providers still can’t deliver is mobility. To play these games, users must be hooked up to a screen with consoles, but with mobile gaming, the entertainment is brought with the gamer on-the-go to wherever they wish to be. What’s more is that many mobile games do not need access to the internet to function. On the contrary, once they are downloaded, the user can begin playing even without a phone signal.

Variety

At the close of 2020, it was estimated that Apple offered a whopping 957,390 gaming applications for download. Aside from this huge selection, variety is also an important factor that is apparent in the pool of choices. For example, everything from first-person shooter titles to puzzle solving games like Candy Crush, arcade-style games like Minecraft and strategic activities like poker and chess are available inside almost any phone’s app store. Furthermore, there are also some apps made specifically for prepping users to become better at the games they play. For example, poker training apps allow players to carry around all the fundamentals needed for optimal strategy right in their pocket. In the same way, chess training apps allow people of all levels to refine and hone their playing skills around the clock. So, not only do mobile gamers have access to a large variety of games, but also the tools needed to succeed in them wherever they may be.

Creativity

Because every user is looking for the most convenient gaming experience possible, there is a lot of competition surrounding the development of mobile games. Things like graphics, gameplay, fluidity and sounds all play into the quality of any one game on the market. Thanks to developments in technology, developers are now able to create a game using these innovations, designing unique titles and setting themselves apart from their competitors. Leading games companies will continue to think outside of their creative box as more and more tech advancements rise to the surface.

Affordability

Another advantage of mobile gaming is that, oftentimes, these titles are less costly than the ones you would find in a physical store. Not to mention that many of them are also completely free of charge. It isn’t uncommon for a specific game to have a free-to-play mobile version and then one that is available for sale. This is why mobile holders should always conduct thorough research on the game they wish to play because, chances are, there's a way to save bigtime on the titles you already love. The freedom to play wherever and whenever combined with affordability is a huge reason why so many gamers are opting for mobile activities nowadays.

So, as you can see, there are many benefits to mobile gaming for the modern user. Especially in India where the market is enormous, the time to invest is now. After all, in the next ten years the industry could easily be triple the size.
