Released
NOVEMBER 2020

For a long time, mobile has been an afterthought for many gamers, as casual free-to-play games have dominated the mobile gaming landscape.

But a number of recent factors indicate that a big year is on the horizon for the platform. With several major players making significant investments in mobile gaming, and enough latent consumer demand for the emerging gaming subscription model, there will be a gold rush in 2021. OEMs and operators must move now to ensure they can benefit from the coming wave of potential new revenues.
