Why the Future of Gaming will be Powered by Voice

The internet has revolutionized communication, including voice calling through apps like WhatsApp and Skype. Despite this prevalence, live voice chat functionality is underutilized in mobile gaming, especially in the United States. However, Asia is at the forefront of mobile gaming with native voice chat being a key feature across popular games from companies like Tencent and Xiaomi. The rise of mobile gaming in the US will likely lead to increased adoption of in-game voice chat as players seek collaborative, community-driven social experiences through their smartphones. This shift is beneficial for both gamers and game developers, as native voice chat boosts engagement and player retention.
