Remove barriers between game platforms

The barrier from the difference between game platforms such as Xbox, PS4, PC or mobile gradually disappeared when Epic Games’ Fortnite game appeared. Not stopping at building games that link with multiple platforms, this year, the company will provide free tools, helping developers to expand products on different devices. This promises to create a major breakthrough in the gaming industry.

Rise of the Epic Games Store

With hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue per month from Fortnite plus a huge amount of money invested, Epic Games gradually turned into the field of developing game distribution platforms when launching the Epic Games Store. 2019 will be a battle between Epic and Steam in attracting game developers to their side.

Strong growth in streaming platform

In 2012, the deal 400 million USD to acquire Sony’s Gaikai streaming platform has attracted a lot of attention. However, after changing to PlayStaytion Now, this streaming service went astray and it was not taken seriously by Sony.

Meanwhile, two streaming services of Microsoft and Google have many new changes. However, Google’s Project Stream currently only works with Assassin’s Creed Odyssey game, and Microsoft’s near-complete Project xCloud project will appear on its new Xbox platform.
