The availability of the Internet is limited in rural areas. Hence, mobile game developers are introducing games that can be downloaded and played without Internet access. For instance, Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour from Gameloft offers a local multiplayer mode that does not require Internet connectivity to play among friends. The rising availability of such games will increase the adoption of mobile games significantly, especially in rural areas. It will also increase the revenue generated by the mobile devices segment, which will contribute to the global video game market size during the forecast period.
