Mobile gaming refers to the games that are played in mobile devices, including smartphones, feature phones, smartwatches, pocket PCs, or tablets. Mobile gaming features 2D or 3D graphics that are usually written using royalty-free, cross-platform application programming devices. Gaming on mobile devices usually requires fast central processing units (CPUs), dedicated graphics processing units (GPUs), large random-access memory (RAM), and high-resolution displays. Modern mobile phones are now equipped with infrared, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and 4G connectivity, thus enabling users to access mobile gaming online. With these technologies, wireless multiplayer games can be played in live synchronous tournaments and turn-based asynchronous tournaments. Mobile gaming ranges from simple and basic games to more sophisticated games (3D and augmented reality games). Nowadays, mobile games can usually be downloaded from an app store or from a mobile operator’s portal.

Mobile Gaming Market Trends:
The market is majorly driven by the increasing utilization of innovative technologies for developing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) games and 3D gaming. This can be attributed to the widespread adoption of mobile devices among the masses. In addition to this, the escalating demand for gaming phones with an immersive real-world experience in AR- and VR-enabled games is providing an impetus to the market. Moreover, the rising number of esports leagues and mobile gamers is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor for the market.
