What Kind of Games Are the Most Popular in the World?

Video games were once regarded as a hobby, primarily for kids. Today things are significantly different, and this activity is more than a mere hobby. We are looking at one of the most important aspects of youth culture, a career path for many, and one of the largest industries in the world. The range of experiences games can provide is really broad, and here we are going to explore what are the most popular types of games played today.

MOBA 

Multiplayer online battle arena or MOBA titles dominate the eSports scene. Titles like League of Legends and DOTA 2 have been around for years, and some of the highest-paid eSports players are actually playing DOTA 2 professionally. MOBAs have a massive player base of casual and above-average players, but becoming professional requires a higher level of intelligence and lots of hard work and practice. Pros pretty much devote the best years of their life to mastering them and polishing their teamwork.

FPS

Multiplayer first-person shooters have been around for more than 2 decades and one title in particular truly withstood the test of time. CS: GO is another incredibly popular title on the eSports scene, especially in Denmark. Moreover, many online casinoer Danmark or online casinos Denmark platforms offer eSports betting options, and players also play CS: GO skin wagering game. That’s right players can claim casino bonuses and use them to wager Counter-Strike skins with certain operators.

Slots

Gamblers make out an incredibly large portion of the gaming community, and the most played casino games are slots. Ever since this type of entertainment became available online the industry exploded and more countries began to legalize this form of entertainment. One of the most recently formed markets is in the Netherlands, and their online goksites or online gambling sites are popping up and applying for licenses. New players can claim their promo codes and free spins and enjoy some of the best slots experiences available today.

Card Games

This is really a broad term, which kind of explains why they are so popular. These can be played in groups like Uno, competitively, or even at a casino. Collectible card games, like Magic The Gathering, Yu Gi Oh, Hearthstone, and Pokemon have a solid player base. But we also have poker tournaments and online casino games like baccarat and blackjack. This form of entertainment has been around for centuries, which explains why it’s so popular even to this day.

RPGs

Role-playing games are available as both video games and pen-and-paper. The best or most famous example is Dungeons and Dragons, and World of Warcraft. It’s not as competitive as other things we mentioned here but it’s extremely fun for those who are imaginative and love to role play. There are also sub-genres like turn-based, J-RPG, Western RPG, etc., but it is one of the categories that has been decreasing in popularity over the years.

Battle Royale

Finally, we have a genre that is somewhat similar to FPS but definitely different enough to have its own distinct player base. Notable titles are PUBG and Fortnite, and the latter one is one of the relatively new games that took the market by storm.

Conclusion

The way things stand these seem to be the most genres in the gaming world. Other honorable mentions would include real-time strategies or RTS like Warcraft 3 and Starcraft, action-adventure games, and sandbox experiences like Minecraft.
