10 Hottest Gaming Trends To Keep An Eye On
8. New Competitors To Steam For PC Gaming
PC gaming is still an extremely popular way for people to play their games.
In fact, it has gotten so popular that developers are putting more effort into creating better PC ports of their games, Microsoft made it so Xbox exclusives could be played on Windows and even PlayStation are porting some of their exclusive games to PC.
And for a very long time, Steam has been the number one choice for many PC gamers, thanks to its easy to use interface, storefront features and automatic updates for all games. But over the last few years alternative sites for PC gaming have really made their presence felt in the market, such as GOG.com, Green Man Gaming and the Epic Games Store.
The numbers still look good for Steam, who as of 2020 had approximately 120 million monthly users and still offer better features than their closest competitors. But with more competition than ever before and even video game companies like EA and Ubisoft creating their own sites such as Origin and Uplay, it will be interesting to see how much longer Steam can remain as the go to choice for PC gaming.
