Subscription-based gaming is a service that provides customers with access to a large selection of games from its library on their devices and offers premium gaming visuals and a number of other features in exchange for a monthly or annual membership subscription cost. The companies offer games for a variety of platforms, including mobile phones, computers, tablets, gaming consoles, virtual reality headsets, smart TVs, and other devices. Users have the option of downloading or streaming games directly from the platform.One of the income models that has grown in popularity for monetizing games is the subscription-based model, where users subscribe to the game and pay a regular monthly cost to access the game and other features.
