Shift in Digital and Cloud Gaming Bolsters Middle East & Africa Gaming Controller Market

Low latency is crucial for responsive gameplay in cloud gaming, where games are streamed from remote servers. Modern controllers are designed with advanced wireless technologies to ensure a seamless gaming experience. Digital and cloud gaming services often support gaming across multiple platforms. Controllers that are compatible with various devices, including PCs, consoles, and mobile devices, are in high demand. Gamers want a single controller that can seamlessly switch between different platforms, providing flexibility and convenience. Cloud gaming platforms can have unique requirements. Controllers are being designed to integrate with these platforms, offering functionalities optimized for cloud gaming, such as quick button response and efficient data transmission. Some controllers come equipped with sensors, touch-sensitive surfaces, and haptic feedback to enhance the immersive experience in cloud gaming. Smart controller features are leveraged to complement the capabilities of cloud gaming services. Some controllers allow users to customize settings and configurations through cloud-based platforms. This ensures that personalized controller preferences are easily accessible, regardless of the device or platform being used for cloud gaming. Cloud gaming services providers partner with controller manufacturers to provide bundled offerings, encouraging users to subscribe to their services. This trend contributes to increased controller sales in association with digital gaming subscriptions. For instance, in March 2023, Ubitus K.K. and Google Cloud announced a partnership to advance the development of cloud streaming in the games industry. Under the collaboration, Ubitus chose Google Cloud as its primary cloud provider. Similarly, in March 2023, Microsoft Corp. and Boosteroid announced an agreement for 10 years to bring Xbox PC games to Boosteroid's cloud gaming platform. Hence, the shift in digital and cloud gaming is expected to significantly influence the gaming controller market, leading to the development of controllers that cater to the specific requirements and opportunities presented by the above innovative gaming platforms.
