Over the years, games have not only grown in numbers but the technology incorporated in them has constantly improved. Gone are the days of text-based games or game animation created in 8 bit. Now people can play video games not only on consoles but also on their PCs and even on their smartphones. Hence, gamers are constantly connected to their games no matter where they are. So, what is next for gaming? Most people will put their money on AR and VR.

Augmented Reality works by overlaying a virtual digital world on top of the real, physical world. While this may not be as immersive as full virtual reality, it certainly is more accessible as the investment in next to none. Mobile Games Development such as Pokemon Go have proved how effective AR can be and the only hardware that a user/gamer needs are their smartphone. This is certainly much more effective than VR where one would need to invest heavily before even playing a VR game.
