How VR Has Taken The Gaming Industry Fast & Why We Love It

The world of video games has been a major source of entertainment for people across the world and from all age groups. Over the years, there has been an increase in the number of gamers, with many people even pursuing it as a profession by streaming their gameplay videos. The gaming industry is booming significantly too and as of 2020 stands at 37 billion U.S., in terms of PC games and 77 billion dollars in terms of the mobile gaming industry.

While every decade there has been a new advancement in the gaming industry, the recent trend has been the evolution of VR or virtual reality. And unless you have experienced it, it is hard to fathom how it changes the gaming experience. Don’t believe us? Read on to find how VR is changing the gaming industry and why people love it!

Better User Engagement

Players worldwide are seeking an immersive experience where they are not just playing a character but living and experiencing the life in the game. The best part is, you do not have to spend a bomb on buying VR games to get an experience of the virtual world. There are numerous free oculus rift games, which let the user explore virtual reality in gaming free of cost. Virtual reality games offer just that to the users by offering them a whole host of tools, including the controllers and headsets that help them live, explore, and experience the game in the virtual world.

Alternative Reality

VR Gaming Industry

Virtual reality gaming has been around for a while now. However, its popularity has soared significantly higher since the pandemic outbreak. As people are forced to stay at home with the lockdown, they are craving a break from the mundaneness of the home. These virtual reality games provide an escape from the real world, the fears, problems, and stress.

It lets the players transport themselves into a fictitious world where the battles are relatively easier than in the real world. Recent research found that around  26 million individuals own VR devices, and the belief is that over 43.5 million people would own VR headsets by 2025. Industry experts attribute this growth significantly to the lockdown and COVID-19 pandemic, which has brought about a new normal in our lifestyle.

Expanding Scope of Content

The virtual reality space of video games has so much more to offer than regular games. The biggest leap in this direction was the launch of controllers for VR, which lets the players control the game and explore different environments in the game’s universe. As the experience is truly immersive, the scope for content development is also high. Research by Statista found that in the year 2020, there was a high demand for racing games in the virtual reality space.

There is also a high demand for adventure games on VR in comparison to regular PC games. This is understandable as the user would get to experience the adventures in the game better on VR as they move around and explore the game’s universe. This in comparison to the regular PC gaming experience of finishing quests while sitting on a couch.

The Sensory Appeal

VR Gaming Industry

The past few years have seen a phenomenal growth of Augmented reality and virtual reality in almost every space and industry.

This lets the customers walk around and get a feel of the home even before the property is built.

However, the gaming industry continues to take the cake when it comes to the sensory appeal of virtual reality. Recent advancements in VR gaming technology make it possible for the game to appeal to your sense of smell, touch, thermoception, sound, and vision. Thus, it creates a wholesome experience and a feeling of living and being part of the gaming universe.
