Is mobile gaming the future? Certainly looks like it! With the ability to play games anytime, anywhere and provide a more immersive gaming experience than ever, mobile games are becoming more and more popular among the masses at an exponential rate. It is only a matter of time before mobile games replace desktop games on a much larger scale. When it comes to the future of smartphone gaming, you can expect better games, better equipment, and better operating technology, which will improve the overall experience by making it enjoyable and captivating.

The proportion of the population without smartphones is rapidly declining. Here’s something to remember: People don’t always have a PlayStation or a personal computer. In addition, people cannot carry PCs and PlayStation with them. There is a high probability that people who do not have a smartphone will eventually buy a smartphone.

In addition, people who already own smartphones will always consider upgrading to a better phone when their old phones can’t keep up or just because they want to keep up with the latest technology. This gives developers the opportunity to reach game players who have never communicated with some major game providers. Although there is an option to synchronize certain controllers with mobile devices, not everyone wants to have them. This is why the method of putting everything on a smaller screen is so important.

Therefore, with the rapid development of mobile gaming technology, this is the expectation of the future.

5G will fuel real-time multiplayer gaming

Telecom companies around the world are making relentless efforts to bring 5G to India. The development of the telecommunications industry to 5G will be a major turning milestone in elevating the mobile gaming industry to a whole new level. It is said that 5G is about 10 times faster than the current 4G. Obviously, it will greatly increase the speed of the mobile Internet and will also reduce congestion. Even better, the lower latency brought by 5G will solve the problem of rapid battery consumption. Faster speed means your download speed will be faster. In addition, loading games that require an internet connection to start will not take long. The demand for real-time multiplayer games (such as live dealer casinos and mobile gaming tournaments) is growing rapidly. In this case, Internet speed and Internet reliability can make a big difference in determining the winner. Not only telecommunications companies, but many mobile phone companies have also recognized the power of 5G. They also plan to use 5G’s low-latency capabilities to keep applications running smoothly. In 2019, Apple said it will manufacture its chipsets in-house through Intel’s modem business to support 5G networks. Things like this can have a huge impact on the size and quality of smartphone games.

Mobile esports will emerge with time

Although most gamers today play esports games for fun, other game lovers try to make a living. Many gaming tournaments and events are held every year, awarding thousands of dollars to the winners. Although gaming and esports are PC-dominated industries, mobile esports have flourished in recent years. The most beloved games in history such as Arena of Valor, Summoners War, and Call of Duty have entered the world of mobile games and e-sports.

More free-to-start mobile games will be released

Most gamers in the world are casual gamers, and mobile game companies target these casual gamers. Many casual gamers are unwilling to spend money on games they think they will not play in the future. The highest-paid mobile games such as League of Legends and Fate/Big Order are free-to-play with lots of in-app purchases. This strategy is called ‘free start’ that allows the players to choose to invest according to their wishes, thereby gaining a lot of loyalty from free players.

Graphics and control will enhance

As the big names in the gaming industry enter the mobile gaming space, mobile phone developers are beginning to take notice and use their resources to improve their products. In order to provide customers with a better gaming experience, they need to invest in better graphics. In addition, with the development of mobile games that can be played offline, mobile devices must also be equipped with more storage space and longer-lasting batteries. In addition, game developers will work with mobile device developers to understand how to optimize game controls on the device and how everything fits on the screen. Certain controls and functions may be deleted or even combined with other controls and functions which in turn ruins the gaming experience for a player.

Big names that are moving to mobile gaming

• Call of Duty is one of the biggest names in the gaming industry entering mobile devices.

• Riot Games is also entering the field of mobile games. They have used the legend of Runeterra and Teamfight Tactics for mobile games.

• According to reports, Riot Games is also committed to releasing League of Legends: Wild Rift on mobile devices.

Therefore, if you want to consider the future of mobile gaming, as mobile gaming technology continues to improve, you should only expect more efficient equipment and more immersive games in the coming years.
