The Hottest Game Genres Trending Right Now
Posted on: August 19, 2024, 10:50:03 AM
The gaming industry is constantly evolving and that is being proved by the thousands of new games that are released daily. Apart from updates of already published games, games with entirely new concepts show up on the surface of the gaming industry all the time. That being said, there are multiple game genres that are currently developing as the gaming industry continues to grow rapidly.

Needless to say, some of those newly developed games never make it to the high-top list of trending games. However, some others that get super popular not only conquer all gaming platforms, but they become a part of the daily routine of gamers worldwide. In this article we will have a closer look into the hottest game genres which are currently trending worldwide.

Sci-Fi Games



The current tech advancements have highly influenced the production of more sci-fi games making it one of the trending game genres. New sci-fi games are literally everywhere and anyone who does online gaming knows that you are guaranteed to encounter them in the first page of every gaming platform.

The greatest thing about sci-fi games is the ability to incorporate the “other worlds” or the imaginary ones. For instance, in sci-fi games you can go to the alien world and play in that setting, or you can go into the futuristic world and interact with futuristic technologies.

Sci-fi games are all about the excitement of experiencing a different world that might be intriguing for many people worldwide. Simply put, you can experience other worlds that are different from the earthly one that we have here, and that is absolutely cool and amazing.

Battle Royale Games



Battle royal games continue to be a trend in the gaming industry. Although famous battle royale games are not a new thing, they are still very much relevant to the industry and gamers globally love them. For instance, Fortnite was firstly released in 2017 which makes it 7 years old now; however, it still remains one of the most popular battle royale games that is played by millions around the globe on a daily basis. Other battle royale games which are still super popular are “PUBG” and “Apex Legends”.

The cool thing about battle royale games is the thrill of survival. The whole idea and the concept here is to survive based on your own strategies that you chose to use in the game. Needless to say, those who master the survival skills in these games are the ones that win at the end of the game.

Simulation Games



Simulation games are just as famous as the previous two genres that we discussed. Gamers in these simulation games are basically allowed to create and manage their own settings. Some of the most famous simulation games that are present in the market are “The Sims” published by Electronic Arts, “Cities: Skylines” and “Animal Crossing: New Horizons”.

All of them have really interesting features that make it possible for players to build their own world based on what they want to include in there. Simulation games, as the name suggests, allow players to create “simulations”. Once they do so, they can add on, change or alter anything they want and in a way the players can “exist” in those spaces they create. This gives them a sense of control over what they want to have in the surrounding gaming space.

Web3 and Blockchain Games



Web3 and blockchain games are some of the newest additions to the gaming industry. The novelty that they bring to the gaming market is the blockchain technology, which is now being used in many other fields as well. Blockchain tech allows players to have the so-called “decentralized ownership” to many assets in the game. For example, players can own NFTs (non-fungible tokens) in the form of characters, items in the game and currency. One of the most famous web3 blockchain games is “Castle Age Web3”.

As previously mentioned, players can own assets in the game and by owning them; they can also sell or trade them with other players in the game. As a result, they can also earn real money when selling them which is a new thing about the gaming industry.

Conclusion



It is to be concluded that the gaming industry has grown immensely in the past 20 years and such a growth, if not a bigger and more significant one, is expected to be seen in the upcoming years as well. The gaming industry, being heavily concentrated online, goes hand in hand with the tech advancements.

That means, the more tech developments we have, the bigger are chances for the gaming industry to expand even further. At the moment, there is something for every type of player in the gaming industry and all it takes to find a game you like is a simple Google search
