Product Definition:
A mobile action role-playing game (ARPG) is a type of role-playing video game where the player controls a character or team of characters in an environment where they can explore and interact while completing quests. ARPGs usually have better graphics than traditional role-playing games and tend to be more fast paced.
Pay to Play:
Pay to play is a business model in which the game developer charges the players for access to in-game content. The pay-to-win concept has been around for quite some time, but only recently has it gained traction within mobile ARPGs.
The primary factor driving this growth is increased consumer demand towards free2play games with additional premium features that are paid for by non- gameplaying characters such as cosmetic items and boosts.
Free to Play:
Free2Play (F2P) or Free-to-Play is a type of game where the users can play the game without paying any money. The games are usually played on web-based platforms or mobile devices and do not require any upfront costs. In many cases, free2play games have additional in-game purchases that offer additional features, weapons, armor and so on but these purchases can be avoided if the user does not want to avail them.
Application Insights:
Based on application, the global mobile action role-playing games (ARPG) market has been segmented into Android and IOS. The Android platform held a larger share of the overall revenue in 2017 as compared to IOS. This is due to the fact that there are more active users of Google Play Store than App Store, which enables a game developer to create more revenue streams by developing games for both platforms. Moreover, many successful role-playing video game series such as Clash of Clans were developed originally for iOS before being ported to other platforms such as Android and Windows PC. However, despite being dominant in terms of downloads and revenues generated by apps; Google Play Store has less penetration than App Stores on various countries around the world including China, Brazil, Russia etc., which may hinder growth over next few years.
The Europe mobile action RPG market is expected register significant growth during forecast period owing to increasing number of smartphone users across countries such as Germany Italy France Spain etc.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to rising smartphone penetration and increasing adoption of online gaming platforms in this region. Increasing number of mobile gamers, coupled with growing popularity of action role-playing games, has led to an increase in revenue generated from microtransactions in Asia Pacific. This trend is projected to continue over the next eight years, thereby driving regional market growth.
North America accounted for a significant share owing to high demand for entertainment services across U.S., Canada and Mexico countries as a result of growing millennial population base that spends more on leisure activities such as watching movies or playing games at home than any other country worldwide (according to Entertainment Software Rating Board). Furthermore, presence of major game developers such as Blizzard Entertainment Inc.; Supercell Oy; Riot Games Inc.; Valve Corporation; BioWare Corp.; Square Enix Co., Ltd.; Koei Tecmo Games Co.
