Based on the Game Type segment, 3D segment is expected to hold the largest share in the Game Engine market in the year 2028. 3D games are more complex for game developers, and high performance is harder to achieve. Also, the pipelines are more complicated to develop and maintain in 3D games. Unlike 2D games in which the animations have just a film strip of frames with possibly different positions for each frame, in 3D games, game developers need to deal with separate animation assets, bones, skinning, etc. Hence, all such requirements have triggered the demand for game engines for developing 3D games over the years exponentially.
