Despite all things happening in 2020, it was a pretty big year for mobile gaming. We were introduced to new technologies and all-new game adaptations for a mobile device.
So, what can we expect from the future?
Well, one thing is for sure. We will continue seeing the mobile gaming trend rise as new, more complex games are now available for mobile devices, and they are powerful enough to handle heavy games.
In this article, we will highlight all the gaming technology trends that we expect from 2021.
1. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
We’ve spotted these technological trends for many years in the past, but it seems like it didn’t quite make it to our mobile devices. However, just because we’ve still haven’t seen AI in mobile gaming, it doesn’t mean that this technology is far from us.
Many companies are working on developing a new immersive gaming experience enhanced by artificial intelligence.
Apart from games, we’ve seen many apps like using AI technologies that saved businesses a lot of money and enhanced user experience.
Additionally, machine learning is here to make games much deeper than they actually are. For example, new developing companies are working on projects that use machine learning to change the user experience.
In other words, the same game will be different for every user, depending on the type of play and game decisions they make.
2. Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
Even though these technologies have been around for some time, we’ve still barely scratched the surface of their capabilities. We expect 2021 to be a year filled with new AR and VR games.
Additionally, some smartphone manufacturers are already installing a LiDAR scanner on their devices, which scans its environment using infra-red light.
This will improve the overall AR mobile gaming experience, and we will be able to play games in the real world.
3. 5G Wireless Technology
Since most new smartphones come with 5G capability that has blisteringly fast internet speed, we can now enjoy playing more complex games on our devices.
The only downside to the 5G network is its availability. Currently, not much of the world is covered with 5G antennas, so even if you get a 5G smartphone, you won’t be able to have such high internet speed.
From the latest Apple iPhone 12 release, we saw that big game developers are working around the clock to make popular games available for smartphones, thanks to 5G technology. In 2021 we expect to see League of Legends Mobile and many new popular releases.
4. Cloud Gaming
Cloud gaming has been around for a few years but only for PC or console players. Now thanks to the high internet speed of the 5G networks, a smartphone user can play games without even downloading them in the first place.
Cloud gaming is a technology that streams the game through shared-screen play from server-based in a different location.
5. Improved Graphics
New smartphones feature powerful processors and RAM memory capable of running complex games at full-HD. We expect to see many new complex games like the EA Sports UFC with stunning graphics on BetAmerica Extra’s best female and male MMA fighters.
Also, many new smartphone manufacturers are putting new 120Hz refresh rate displays that will make games much more fluent. Basically, you will be able to play big games at refresh speeds just as you would play on your computer.
Final Words
These are some of the many new technologies that will bring excitement to the upcoming year.
We hope that 2021 will be a year that will revolutionize the mobile gaming experience, and despite the impracticality, many people in the future will prefer to play games on the go rather than on a PC or console.
