Roman Epishin, who holds the post of marketing director of the VK Play Cloud platform, believes that in the coming years there will be a significant increase in the popularity of cloud gaming in Russia. The analyst predicts that the number of active audience of the site will grow by about 10 times within 5 years.
At the moment, according to Epishin, every month more than 500,000 users use cloud technologies in Russia. At the same time, during the entire time, about 5 million Russians used this functionality at least once. Thus, by 2024, the financial volume of the cloud gaming market can grow to $68 million.
Epishin considers the coronavirus and the increased cost of assembling PCs and laptops to be the main incentives for the growth of this segment.
