Due to the worldwide lockdown people have been playing, and spending more money to games &#8211; more than ever. Mobile games are clearly the biggest winner, with $12.4 billion growth of revenue to pre-Covid times. The total revenue of mobile games in 2020 was $86,9 billion and is expected to rise to $90,7 billion in 2021 (Picture 1).

According to <a>Newzoo<\/a>\u00a0 94% of the games in 2020 were played on mobile devices. In 2021 mobile game revenue is expected to cover little over half (52%) of the overall market of $175.8.billion.\u00a0 (Newzoo 2021)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>2020 was also a good year for the Finnish game industry, at least when we look at the turnover that was 9% higher than in 2019. For the sixth year in row Finnish games and game companies made over \u20ac2 billion, the exact turnover being \u20ac2,4 billion. Also, the number of Finnish game companies with a turnover of more than \u20ac1 million rise from 34 in 2018 to 46 studios in 2020. The number of companies with \u20ac100 million turnover or more, rose from 2 in 2018 to 4 in 2020. Mobile game development has strong footing in Finland and majority of the revenue comes from mobile game companies like Superscell, Rovio, Small Giant Games, Seriously and Next Games. (Neogames 2021, 16, 24, 30; Lappalainen 2021.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also downsides. In 2020 the number of active game studios has dropped, and it\u2019s expected that due to COVID-19 and significant cuts in different support systems in Finland the launch of new companies will be modest. At it\u2019s peak year, 2014 there were 260 game companies in Finland, the number has steadily dropped year to year and in 2020 there were total of 200 game studios.

During the 2020 games have had even greater meaning in people\u2019s social life than before, and the games and game worlds are evolving to be much more than before. In 2020 when live events were nearly impossible to organize the concerts and events went to the existing online game worlds. There has been a virtual music festival inside Minecraft and concert series with 27.7 million participants in Fortnite. (Ombler 2020.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Games have already offered a social platform for the players to congregate and the next step might be that they turn into a Metaverse. <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Metaverse\">Metaverse<\/a> is one, shared virtual space where people assemble to access user generated content. Roblox is a good example of a metaverse. The concept of Metaverse is still new, and something that is still been discussed and defined deeper.

The consumer behavior has been exceptional during this time, so only time will tell which of these trends are here to stay. (Vaitkevich 2020)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It also seems that people are migrating towards mobile gaming and the rise of browser games is similarly expected. The COVID-19 lockdown affected Asian PC-gaming scene extremely negatively when the PC cafes were closed. Not everyone has the possibility to invest in expensive gaming hardware nor space for them, but they still enjoy the type of games played with that type of devices. Similarly, global issues in gaming hardware manufacturing and software development are affecting the interest.
