Top 30 Gaming Trends in June

From Pop Princess Mobile Games to Remixed Gaming Systems

— July 1, 2016 — Tech
The top June 2016 gaming ideas reveal patterns in the way that a new generation of gamers are playing and watching their favorite video games.

There are countless YouTube channels that prove there are audiences interested in seeing others play games at both amateur and professional levels. As such, there is a newfound demand for eSports, which is being satisfied with new TV and web channels like Electronic Sports League's eSportsTV, Astro's eGG and Activision Blizzard.

When it comes to some of the ways that people are engaging in gaming, the rise of maker culture is now inspiring many young creators to make everything from DIY consoles to peripherals and complete home entertainment systems.
