Part of this surge has been attributed to the spread of the coronavirus and how lockdown has led to many being stuck at home, but it can also be attributed to more than that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mobilegames.png?resize=800%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"[Image source: macworld.co.uk]\" class=\"wp-image-11426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mobilegames.png?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mobilegames.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mobilegames.png?resize=150%2C84&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/armchairarcade.com\/perspectives\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/mobilegames.png?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>[Image source: macworld.co.uk]<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the biggest shift can be seen in a changing demographic and audience within mobile gaming &#8211; many would consider young males to be a primary target audience within gaming, however it is now being shown, especially within this market, that an older audience is now being captured as those over the age of 30, and primarily female, now make up for over 60% of players on mobile games &#8211; there are a number of features that appeal to this demographic of gamer, particularly the link to social media as increasing social media integration has become a core part to these games. This feature has become a core part of game reviews too showing the importance, <a href=\"https:\/\/thebestcasinos.co.uk\/brand-reviews-jackpot-charm\/\">this review of Jackpot Charm is detailed<\/a> in that aspect and does its part in showing how these different features are becoming more desirable.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s expected that the growth of mobile gaming will continue on the path it is on and even accelerate as our devices change, it is also expected that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilemarketer.com\/news\/mobile-games-sparked-60-of-2019-global-game-revenue-study-finds\/569658\/#:~:text=The%20mobile%20gaming%20market%20is,by%202024%2C%20per%20the%20research.&amp;text=The%20percentage%20of%20users%20who,%E2%80%94%20up%2018.6%25%20last%20year.\">more than 1.7 billion people<\/a> worldwide would be playing games on their mobile devices by 2024 reaching an expected value of $56.6 billion too. It\u2019s likely that we may see some of these predictions change too, the lockdown measures have caused huge surges in traffic for different gaming genres over the past two or three months and may help in accelerating this growth further, especially if many can retain the large number of newer players obtained as the world continues to recover and many of us start to return to our day to day
