Why is there an increase in demand for cross-platform multiplayer games?

Multiplayer gaming is more popular than ever, and with it has come a need for better cross-platform accessibility. Multiplayer games are a part of millions of people's daily lives worldwide. The ability to connect with or create new acquaintances is a significant component to online gaming's enormous and continuing appeal.

The experiences and interactions you may have with your friends in multiplayer games provide an unparalleled feeling of enjoyment and camaraderie. This might explain why 43 percent of cross-platform players desire additional cross-platform gaming options: they want to unlock these experiences with friends who play on various platforms.

At Unity, we aim to ensure that all creators have access to the information they need to make educated decisions about where to spend their efforts while creating games.

Playing for keeps

Cross-platform gaming isn't going away anytime soon. As a feature that the gaming community has been clamoring for begins to be successfully implemented in top titles, the option of being separated from your pals based on whatever platform you use will no longer be an option.

Cross-platform game developers receive the benefits of enhanced appeal to highly engaged player populations, with many popular titles making it a table-stakes feature. Connecting PC, console, and mobile gamers were likely a hidden strength for several of the year's greatest multiplayer titles.

Scalable cross-platform third-party solutions have become vital to the future success of multiplayer games, but ensuring you can supply this kind of connection for your games isn't something you'll have to accomplish entirely on your own.

Backend services that developers choose to buy rather than build must commit to offering solutions that prioritize cross-platform thinking and product roadmaps.
