Video games have been around for decades, entertaining both youngsters and adults. They've come a long way since the early days of computer games and the initial versions of Nintendo and Atari. Pixelated graphics and restricted sound effects are a thing of the past, as video games have gotten more lifelike than ever. Video games are becoming more advanced as technology advances. Video game development has gotten increasingly sophisticated, and the expense of developing a game for one of the major systems has risen in tandem. It was previously inconceivable to invest millions in game creation, but today's games may cost tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars. In terms of production and marketing expenditures, this has pushed game development into the realm of Hollywood films.
The video game industry is massive. In reality, it is larger than the entire film and music industry, and it is just rising. It's hardly surprising that businesses want a piece of the action. The gaming business is expected to earn $155 billion in revenue by 2020. Analysts expect that the business will earn more than $260 billion in sales by 2025. As a result, IT businesses are eager to participate in this revenue source. Google (GOOGL), Meta (META), previously Facebook, and Apple (AAPL) have all announced ambitions to enter the video gaming sector.

Gaming has a broad appeal and is continually expanding.The changing demographics of gamers are maybe the most intriguing trend in the video gaming business. With more people playing games, a need for more immersive entertainment, and a desire for simpler access to games, the video game industry's future appears bright.
''Every age has its storytelling form, and video gaming is a huge part of our culture. You can ignore or embrace video games and imbue them with the best artistic quality. People are enthralled with video games in the same way as other people love the cinema or theatre.''- Andy Serkis
