An increase in smartphone penetration drives the growth of the mobile gaming market. Smartphone usage is growing due to various reasons such as growing internet penetration, increasing use of social media, the convenience of communication, affordability of phones with improved features, social status, rising income, dependency on phones, and other factors.
Technology advancement is a key trend gaining popularity in the mobile gaming market. The market is witnessing the integration of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies in mobile gaming for truly immersive gaming experiences.
In the mid-2010s, CEO David Guo (Yaoqi Guo) recognized that video games were no longer limited to desktops. More and more people were beginning to enjoy them on their mobile devices. Top Games offered a calibrated platform where players could enjoy lifelike images without the lag. This innovation, plus the breakout success of Evony, proved beneficial for its popularity and, ultimately, its annual revenue.
