Competition in the smartphone world continues to increase. Companies are launching models with various features in order to survive in this sector. With the increase in processor power, game-oriented smartphones also find an important place in this field. However, the newly released game applications data says that there are question marks about the era of gaming on smartphones.
For the first time in the App Store, spending on gaming apps lags behind
Application analytics firm Sensor Tower has put the movements in the second quarter of 2022 under scrutiny. The company came across an interesting statistic during this review. For the first time in the App Store, which has been the store of iOS since 2008, game applications were overshadowed by other applications.
Another patent shock to Apple! Millions of dollars could be lost
According to the details identified by Patently Apple, a patent dispute arose between Memory Limited and Apple.
Until this time, most of the payments made in the App Store were always covered by game applications. In the last analysis, it was observed that this situation has changed. In the last review, there are no longer games that are the leader of the spending pool.
According to Sensor Tower, other spend increased by twice that of gaming apps. At the beginning of the biggest players of this table are applications such as Netflix and TikTok. It is stated that 50.3% of US App Store spending last month occurred in other mobile applications.
This resulting picture led to the formation of ideas that the interest in the mobile game world has decreased. On the other hand, the analysis company says that the world shows a great interest in mobile games during the pandemic period. Secondly, he stated that with the passing of the coronavirus effect, the interest in the game world returned to its normal course.
