10 Hottest Gaming Trends To Keep An Eye On

It was not that long ago that virtual and augmented reality was seen as nothing more than a pipe dream; something that always sounded awesome on paper, but in reality was nothing more than a cheap gimmick that didn't live up to expectations.

But although the first few iterations of this technology lived up to their underwhelming expectations, major advancements have been made.

VR headsets like the Oculus Rift, Vive, Playstation VR and the Valve Index VR Kit all helped prove that VR has a future in gaming. Especially when they have such great VR exclusive games like Moss, Half Life: Alyx, or have great VR ports of other games like Skyrim and No Man’s Sky.

Augmented reality titles have also broken into mainstream gaming, with Harry Potter: Wizards Unite and Pokemon Go being the most successful examples.

VR and AR may not be the revolutionary way to play games that everyone once thought they would be, but the signs are still promising.

As time goes on, understanding of the technology is only going to improve, which will inevitably lead to better games being created and the technology being used more often by gamers.
