Since 2010, the fruits of the radical change in the telephone industry have begun to reap slowly. In this direction, while the production and diversity of smartphones increased to a great extent, the game industry was also directly affected by this situation. Thus, a strong competitor to PC and console games emerged. In fact, the latest data is that cards are being redistributed in the gaming industry.
Mobile games surpassed PC and console games
According to research, more than 6 billion people all over the world have a smart phone. As this is the case, the mobile game industry has also increased its popularity day by day and started to get ahead of the PC and console game market.
Known for its research in this field, Newzoo revealed in its latest report that mobile games have a 53 percent market share and generated over $90 billion in revenue in 2021.
Newzoo added that the mobile game market is the fastest growing sector, as well as being more than the PC and console game market combined.
One of the biggest shares in the revenue of mobile games exceeding $ 90 billion in 2021 belongs to Tencent Games and the developer of Genshin Impact, miHoYo, which has undoubtedly produced Call of Duty: Mobile and PUBG Mobile. These games also generated $18 billion in revenue last year.
Finally, by 2024, the number of smartphones used in the world is expected to exceed 7 billion and the mobile game industry is expected to be positively affected by this.
