The major roadblock to this booming industry is the illegal downloads and pirated versions of the games, thereby causing serious concerns for the original developers of the game.The revenue loss is significantly high due to illegal downloads, as people never pay the original developers of the game.

Augmented Reality (AG) and Virtual Reality (VR) are the two new technologies that are positively impacting the smartphone/tablet games market.Both technologies offer exciting gaming experiences to users.

Augmented reality gaming combines visual and audio content with the user’s current environment in real time, thereby making them enjoy the unique gaming experience.Whereas Virtual reality games apply a three-dimensional (3-D) artificial environment to the computer games.

These two technologies have been appreciated by the gaming community, proven by the rise in AR and VR based games downloads.For example, Pokemon Go, an AR game has been downloaded more than 800 million times, making it the most downloaded game.

Niantic Labs, developer of the Pokemon Go game announced their intention to create an augmented reality map of public spaces using the help of players and startup Escher Reality. The company has also raised $225 million in the funding round and is now focused on developing more AR based games.

In July 2018, Niantic has completed the acquisition of LA-based game studio, Seismic Games, for an undisclosed amount.This acquisition would help Niantic in a transition to build all-new Augmented Reality (AR) games with real-world experiences.

Seismic Games is involved in developing social games.It created the famous game RPG Marvel: Strikeforce.

The company was established in 2011 and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California.
