Gaming trends 2020

What will video games be like in 2020? How will technologies evolve? What changes will there be in the way of playing? We have tried to identify the the most important trends that will change video games over the next years.

To ask oneself which sagas are going to be the most popular in 2020, to ask oneself if Virtual Reality will be a flop or not, if you will still buy games from Gamestop or only through online stores, these are questions that impact on the life projects of those who develop and take care of marketing around video games.

Taking inspiration from what’s going on in the market today, we try to focus on the most significant trends in video games in the next years. Let’s socialize We started to have virtual friends with Phantasy Star Online, World of Warcraft and Guild Wars. Then came Halo and Counterstrike, while more recently we were invaded by Farmville and Minecraft. What will we play online in 2020? Will the cooperative or competitive fights prevail? Will we find ourselves again doing the 2 on the Destiny servers or will we increasingly tag our friends’ smartphones begging for lives at Candy Crush? Will there still be the distinction between offline and online, or will we find ourselves increasingly immersed in hybrid video games like The Crew where multiplayer servers can be opened and closed?

Finally, let’s think about Minecraft: the survival game enlightened us with faithful reconstructions of fantasy worlds and Asian metropolises, but on Youtube there are many videos in which two friends dig giant penises on virtual Rushmore mountains. Will we ever fail to look like idiots worldwide? Parents players Alison York is the market research director for the broadcaster Nickelodeon, a notorious producer of children’s cartoons. Contrarily to the common place according to which parents treat television and video games as a cheap baby sitter, 75% of English parents admit to playing video games together with their children, with Lego titles and with Wii U ( Where the sofa co-op dominates).
