Electronic/Video games have come a long way. What was thought to be the first video game was created in 1958 by physicist William Higinbotham, and it was coined “Tennis for Two.” The graphics and setup of the game are enough evidence that video games have evolved massively.
Rockstar Games, a well-known gaming company that was officially launched in 1998, released its first game, Grand Theft Auto, in 1997. After 47 different games, Rockstar launched the trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI on December 5, 2023, and it broke the YouTube record for the most viewed trailer launch in a day. This is evidence that video games have solidified themselves in the electronic arts and media business.
EA Sports has released 23 consecutive FIFA games since 1999 without fail. The company generated a record-breaking 10.3 million players a week after releasing FIFA 2023. These numbers insinuate that there is an upward trend in the evolution of video games. The games look more realistic year after year, and this is a very strong selling point.
Although gaming consoles are relatively expensive, they have become trendy in many households. A study by Ahmed Sherif shows that at least 53% of households in the United States report owning one or more video game consoles.
This shows just how much influence gaming has had on the modern world. It is hard to believe that when Higinbotham created the first game in 1958, he knew the impact it would have on the world in the future. There are now over a million games in the world, and most people have played at least one.
Rockstar Games and Electronic Arts are certified moguls in the gaming industry, and they have undoubtedly made a name for themselves. They have been consistent for two straight decades, and it would not be logical to count them out from future development because they have a unique approach to game development.
