Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
Tencent tops the thematic screen of GlobalData’s gaming sector scorecard. It scores 5 out of 5 across six of the 10 themes that matter most in this market, including mobile gaming, social media, ecommerce, esports, game development, and China impact. It scores 4 out of 5 for the artificial intelligence (AI), metaverse, and cloud gaming themes. The only theme in which Tencent does not score well is regulation, but it is far from alone. All gaming companies risk being impacted by regulation on issues like in-app monetization, data privacy, gambling, and online harm.
Scope
This sector scorecard provides a top-down, comprehensive outlook for the key players in the gaming sector over the next two years, based on the key themes set to transform their industry landscape.
Key Highlights
AI is already ubiquitous in the gaming sector, and the advent of generative AI will create new opportunities for gaming companies in the coming years.
Game developers can use generative AI to generate new content endlessly. This will keep games fresh and reduce repetition. Furthermore, players frequently interact with non-playable characters (NPCs) within games. Generative AI can make NPCs more believable and intelligent by honing their conversation skills and giving them personalities that evolve as players progress. This will make gaming more engaging and intuitive.
