Once upon a time, you were either into games... or not. Today? With over 2.5 billion players worldwide, gaming is everywhere. That’s one-third of the planet! 🌍 And guess what? Gamers aren’t all teenagers in their basements.
👉 The average gamer is 34 years old, owns a home, and has kids.
👉 More than half play every day.
👉 The gaming industry generated $184.4 billion in 2022—that’s 3x music and 4x film.

Let that sink in. From Nintendo nostalgia to next-gen consoles like PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch 2, the game has changed. Esports events are filling stadiums, and gaming isn’t just keeping up... it’s leading the charge.

🟡Augmented & Virtual Reality (AR/VR): VR headsets are becoming more affordable, and AR is making in-game avatars and communication richer than ever. Expect more of this in esports soon.
🟡Cross-Platform Play: Whether you're on mobile, console, or PC—games like Fortnite and Call of Duty: Warzone are connecting everyone. Game progression and purchases follow you across devices... was about time!
🟡Blockchain & NFTs in Gaming: Enter the “play-to-earn” era. Platforms like Axie Infinity allow players to earn crypto or own digital assets (like skins or characters) that they can trade or sell. It still remains a very volatile market though.
🟡5G & Gaming: As 5G rolls out globally, expect faster streaming, low-latency play, and mobile gaming that feels console-smooth.
