It’s safe to say that in the times in which we are living, video gaming is becoming more and more popular among all ages. Different fields of life have become an inspiration for new games but sports and particularly football-based games remain among the most popular.
As a result, football clubs and football players invest more time and effort in video adaptations, and many players work on their branding around football games as they do on the real thing.
Over the years, EA Sports’ FIFA series has grown into one of the most popular franchises in the world, gaming or otherwise. It has devoted fans some of whom now play the game professionally, participating in the Ultimate Team gameplay every year.
For those players looking to boost their brand, being on the cover of FIFA means greater popularity and a much larger profile. Kylian Mbappe was chosen by EA Sports to star on the cover of FIFA 21. One of football’s most skilled athletes the Paris Saint-Germain forward will be on the cover of all three editions of the game, the standard, Champions, and Ultimate editions.
Previously there used to be three different players for each edition. Mbappe is one of the most popular football players and a winner of the World Cup, so seeing his face on the cover of the games does not come as a surprise. Liverpool players are also featured in the gameplay. Virgil Van Dijk often pops up, for example.
Fifa 21 will be on Consoles but is there a chance for iGaming?
The COVID-19 pandemic crushed the majority of the industries and devastated the businesses. People were forced to stay at home. Internet and digital technologies boomed during the lockdown.
People started spending considerably more time in front of the screens. Video games that were already booming became even more popular. The gaming community is the largest internet community spread on multiple websites. iGaming platforms offer all types of gaming forms available in traditional gaming.
As technology advances, iGaming platforms provide a higher quality gaming experience, up-to-date information, dealer feature, and real-time games. Just like consoles, iGaming also offers sports-related game adaptations. Gamers can play real money slots online with different sport themes. They are very popular because of the combination of sport and iGaming. It attracts both the fans of sports and video games.
It must be noted that iGaming will continue expanding because many sports like wrestling and cycling have not yet been adapted to such a platform. The providers of iGaming host tournaments and competitions in video games.
iGaming offers more options for games and real-time experiences than consoles and is accessible not only through special equipment for a high price but through the technologies we use every day.
The laptops, personal computers, even smartphones provide access to iGaming. With a wide choice of games that iGaming platforms offer and easy access to them, it will be hard for even such advanced consoles like Sony Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X to compete with top brands.
