This report is a detailed look at cloud games and how concepts like the metaverse and MILEs (Massive Interactive Live Events) are particularly suited for cloud technology and are expected to drive growth. Includes five-year cloud gaming forecast.
Streaming content through the cloud continues to expand distribution and business models for all forms of entertainment products. However, streaming games and interactive applications have proven more challenging than music or video due to technological and business model issues.
The focus of this report is on how cloud distribution is poised to introduce new forms of content and expand the audience and revenue in not only emerging markets, but more importantly the major video game markets of North America, Western Europe, and Japan.
The conclusion of the report is that cloud streaming distribution will not necessarily grow the market for current high-end “twitch” heavy action games. Instead, the market will grow with new forms of high production content that take advantage of the huge games-as-a-service (GAAS), user viewership, and content creation trends.
The report looks at how concepts like the metaverse and MILEs (Massive Interactive Live Events) are particularly suited for cloud technology and are expected to drive growth over the next five years.
Included five-year forecasts through 2026.
