The five tech trends driving video games


Video game development is driven by technology and those technologies and techniques are always changing. Here's five that are currently moving things forward.

With the Nintendo Switch successor (a follow-up to what will likely end up as the most successful console of all time) rumored to be doing something similar leveraging Nvidia’s DLSS technology for frame generation, it seems this kind of tech is here to stay. Games that feature prominent music these days, for example, allow full soundtrack switching so as not to run afoul of automatic music-seeking algorithms that could earn a streamer copyright strikes or even more punitive punishments. Not only does this loosen the ropes around Epic’s constant need to develop Fortnite around the clock, it allows the audience to invest some ownership in the hit that could work out to financial payouts for them as other users enjoy the content.
