With the introduction of 5G, cloud-based gaming is being redesigned to provide a better gaming experience. For example, in October 2020, according to a Wipro white paper, many players are looking to convert to 5G technology and make additional investments to have a better gaming experience. As a result, it is predicted that the low latency features of 5G technology will further accelerate the market growth.

The world we live in is becoming more and more digital, which is why smartphones are becoming so common. In 2020, there were 5.2 billion smartphone connections and by 2025, 80% of people will be using smartphones. As smartphones are becoming more and more popular, game developers are aiming to offer players a mobile gaming environment. Network providers are investing in mobile gaming as a way to enhance the gaming experience through high-performance connectivity. Using top-tier smartphones, cloud computing and 5G infrastructure across any platform and location will also improve the gaming experience for consumers. A high-quality, low-latency gaming experience can be available on mobile devices. According to data from Ericsson, 22 out of 106 service providers have already implemented mobile cloud gaming services as of October 2020. According to MMR's findings, there are nearly 2.4 billion mobile gamers globally. As a result, the industry is predicted to grow as cloud-based mobile gaming becomes more popular.

Asia-Pacific held the largest market share in the global cloud gaming market in 2021. With the rise in popularity of cloud infrastructure, it is now easier to access a wide range of computing, storage, and communication resources in a reliable, cost-effective, and low-maintenance manner. Gaming services have been classified as one of the fastest growing cloud computing industries in China, and many applications can benefit from these cloud computing capabilities. More cloud-based game operations and development are planned in the future, especially for mobile games. The potential market for on-demand games in homes in China with very high-speed connections is limited by the better compatibility of cloud gaming with IPTV and current technological limitations on streaming.
