According to the report, 95% of studios surveyed are developing or maintaining a live service game. That means there are just over 500 studios currently producing or working on some type of film determination-like video game that likely requires a constant online connection and also offers seasons and battle passes.
According to the survey, 66% of studios agreed that live service is necessary for the long-term success of a video game. The game development report also says that non-live game development now takes around two to three years. Meanwhile, live service titles can last more than five years.
It further explains that the majority of live service developers are working faster than ever to create enough content to satisfy players and keep them engaged.
“Across the industry, live service teams reported their ideal production schedules: weekly to biweekly for live operations and biweekly to monthly for game content updates,” the report said. “In the context of game development, which typically spans several years, production schedules for live services are changing at breakneck speed.”
It’s really not surprising to hear so many developers doing something Live service games How Fourteen days or Diablo IV. We know that Publishers want more of these gamessince they can sell people expensive skins and battle passes for years and milk players for a long time on one title and small content updates.
The problem, of course, is that many live games don’t last that long GTA Online or Sea of Thieves. Many of them die after a few years, if any, and often there are only a few players left enjoying all of this content. However, if you can make a successful and popular live service game, you can be set for years to come. And it seems that many publishers are taking the risk and rolling the dice that matter to them determination-like action game will be one of the few to survive. Now we all have to deal with the fact that more and more games are dying out and are no longer playable after just a few years. Depressing stuff.
