In 2025, mobile gaming has overtaken PC gaming in global video game revenue, with mobile generating over 55% while PC accounts for about 21%.
The shift towards mobile gaming has been gradual and silent, driven by the ubiquity of smartphones and the adaptability of mobile games to fragmented time schedules.
Mobile game design focuses on quick rewards, daily engagement mechanics, and adaptability to users' time constraints, contrasting with the traditional dedication demanded by PC gaming.
Major titles like Call of Duty Warzone, Genshin Impact, and Apex Legends have mobile versions with advanced graphics and full gaming experiences, blurring the line between mobile and PC gaming.
