According to analysts at industry research firm IDC, the new technology has the potential to reshape the industry, bring in new players.

Mobile video games are currently created by developers and distributed for iOS and Android platforms.

There is no need for a storage device and gone are bandwidth constraints, as 5G offers lower latency and faster speeds.

For example, Huawei Technologies in June teamed up with NetEase, China’s second-biggest gaming company, to offer a cloud gaming service.

Although China has been cracking down on content deemed unsuitable in video games, leading to licensing delays, it has also been pushing the development of new technologies such as 5G, and Huawei has taken a global lead in the next-generation wireless network.
