The Foreseeable Future of Gaming – 3 Great Things To Expect!
There is barely anything in the world that is more popular than gaming, regardless of what kind. Almost every person that you’ll meet is bound to have played one or two games at the very least in their life, regardless of what platform. Millions around the world play video games with a passion and it is their favorite thing to do. Gaming is so popular because it has lots to offer for everyone. There are all kinds of games available out there and there’s at least one for everyone’s interests. In the present, we have great technology which has made gaming much better than it ever was. In the future, even all of this is bound to improve significantly. Here’s what we can expect when it comes to gaming in the near future.
What To Expect From The Future Of Gaming?
1. Upcoming Games
One of the things which we can obviously expect is the release of amazing games. In recent years, we’ve been treated to some absolutely amazing gems, like Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War (2018), Resident Evil 2 Remake, Sekiro, Ghost of Tsushima, and so much more. All these great releases have made players appreciate gaming even more than before, and we’re bound to get games that are just as great or even greater in the future.
We’ve got games like Cyberpunk 2077, God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon: Forbidden West, Resident Evil 8, Elden Ring, etc. coming out. And most of these are just the amazing games that are coming out within a year or two, meaning that there’s much more to expect within the next 5 or so years. There are also bound to be some great games that will finally start to fully utilize the amazing potential of VR and AR, like Half-Life: Alyx that was released recently and is arguably the greatest VR game ever. This is very exciting as well, as players have been waiting for Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to live up to their expectations for many years, but a lack of great games didn’t make this possible up until now.
2. New Consoles and Gaming Technology
The biggest thing in gaming as of this moment is inarguably the release of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X/S. The new consoles are finally available for purchase and are a significant improvement over their predecessors. 4K gaming at much better frame rates has given consoles gaming much more desirable in the eyes of players. What’s even better is that these consoles haven’t even reached their full potential yet.
Like previous consoles before them, the Series X and PS5 have some minor and even a few major issues at launch that are ruining the experience for some. But this isn’t a problem that players will have to endure for long, as both consoles will surely be getting updates in the near future that will greatly boost their performance and remove most minor and major issues. There’s also bound to be an announcement of upgraded versions of both consoles like the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X was for the PS4 and Xbox One. There’s not much news about them at all right now and they aren’t even confirmed, but there’s little doubt that these upgraded versions of the PS5 and Series X are coming in the foreseeable future.
But this isn’t all there is to the new gaming tech, as we’re bound to see the release of new graphic cards by NVidia and AMD that will surpass even the PS5 and Series X. The new GPU by NVidia that does so is the RTX 3090. While there are other variations being released as well, this is by far the most powerful, but obviously the most expensive as well. It is capable of supporting video game output in 8K, meaning that we will be able to game in 8K on PC very soon with the NVidia RTX 3090. AMD is also releasing a GPU of its own which is meant to rival the RTX 3090. This is known as the AMD RX 6900 XT and is set to be a direct rival to the RTX 3090 at a much cheaper price. Both GPUs will also support 8K, meaning that PC gaming is about to get a serious graphics overhaul which will make upcoming games look more beautiful than anything we’ve ever seen before.
3. Advancements in Virtual Reality
As mentioned above, there are bound to be some enhancements coming to VR gaming as we know it. Half-Life: Alyx and Resident Evil 7 are solid proof that VR is in fact capable of being the future of gaming, as both were able to provide immersive experiences like none before them. Because of this, we’re bound to see at least a few upgrades made to Virtual Reality gaming in the coming years. For example, there have been lots of rumors going on nowadays that Sony has patented a new VR headset which will be a significant improvement over the first one meant for the PS4.
Speaking of VR headsets, we can definitely expect that they’ll be getting generally upgraded soon. It’s likely we’ll get to see headsets which provide players with a bigger, more dynamic field of view (FOV). We could potentially see headsets that aren’t as complicated to use in the near future. Like some current VR headsets, these will only use Wi-Fi to connect to devices and won’t require any cables or complicates set-up. The major difference is that these coming wireless VR headsets will be much less demanding in terms of connection to the device and won’t require an unreasonably fast connection to work perfectly. As mentioned, we’ll probably be seeing better VR games in the near future too.
All these new amazing games, awesome new tech, and upgrades to virtual reality gaming are great to think about. The best part is that they’re all closer than we think, meaning that the foreseeable future of gaming is definitely great and has something for everyone to keep themselves entertained. In short, you definitely have more than one reason to get excited.
