Bloomberg Intelligence forecasts cloud gaming could become a $38 billion market by 2035, with dedicated consoles potentially shifting to a smaller, niche audience due to advances in AI-driven data centres, expanded cloud access, and lower compute costs making streaming economically viable.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Gaming Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your gaming product will soon face streaming as the main platform, not consoles. Start shifting resources toward cloud compatibility and leverage AI-powered data centre growth to stay ahead.
