At CES 2025, I had the privilege of participating in the panel discussion titled “Beyond Consoles: The Future of Gaming.” This session delved into the evolving landscape of gaming, focusing on the diminishing dominance of traditional consoles and the rise of cross-platform play.

Key Highlights from the Panel:

• Shifting Market Dynamics: We explored how the gaming industry is transitioning from hardware-centric models to more inclusive ecosystems, allowing players to engage across various devices seamlessly.

• Player Preferences: The discussion highlighted the growing demand for flexibility, with gamers seeking experiences that are not tethered to a single platform.
