Trends in Gaming Industry

The gaming industry is in the stage of a transformation driven by themes such as 5G, augmented reality
(AR), virtual reality (VR), esports, cloud gaming, and the metaverse. Multiplayer games, mobile games and
the population of casual gamers all are expected to continue to expand.
Gaming companies have already built an early prototype of the metaverse, and their position as early
adopters is well-known across industries. For example, the widely played Minecraft and Fortnite games,
as well as the popular Roblox game platform, have incorporated many aspects of the metaverse, including
virtual worlds where players meet to play games and use social features such as in-game chats.
