Mobile gaming is big business as studios increasingly adopt a free-to-play model to raise millions of dollars from in-app purchases. This isn’t the only business model, of course, as we are still seeing premium games popping up.
Still are Android authority Readers really spend a lot of money on mobile games? That’s what we want to find out today because we’re asking you how much do you spend on mobile gaming each month. Let us know through the survey below.
There are many reasons to spend money on mobile games. Premium games (like the GTA series, The Room franchise, and Monument Valley) require users to purchase the title in order to play it. Now, free-to-play games are just that, but often cosmetic items can be purchased or users need to purchase virtual currency for in-game perks.
Another recent trend has been the trend towards all-you-can-eat gaming services like Google Play Pass and Apple Arcade. Both services charge $ 4.99 per month for access to a wide variety of games that are otherwise premium offerings. So, if you have a Play Pass or Apple Arcade subscription, it will count towards your monthly mobile gaming expenses.
