Global Gaming Market: Growth in free-to-play model
Free-to-play model, also called as a freemium model, provides an opportunity for gaming service providers to promote their games. This model allows users to play games in exchange for virtual goods and currencies. Virtual currencies are used to buy virtual goods through microtransactions in games. Virtual goods include different avatars. In some instances, users spend real money to purchase virtual products, such as coins, magic wands, houses, guns, and swords, in video games. For instance, League of Legends requires a gamer to pay money to access additional benefits, such as riot points. The free-to-play model aims to convert free users to premium paid users by limiting the access up to a certain game level. Gaming service providers can monetize their services by providing access to many freemium games via social media and mobile platforms. This helps game service providers to increase their revenues, which will drive the growth of the global gaming market
“Apart from the integration of blockchain technology, the increasing emergence of cloud gaming, rise in strategic partnerships and acquisitions, and the growing adoption of AR and VR games are some other major factors that are expected to boost the market growth during the forecast period,” says a senior analyst at Technavio.
