Gaming companies must create authentic content to increase brand visibility across social media channels.
With the pandemic bringing gaming into the mainstream, gaming companies are now providing an online ecosystem for their users. For instance, the video game Fortnite hosts virtual concerts. Similarly, another video game Avakin Life creates and launches new virtual artists.
The crossover between gaming and digital publishing has made users demand content through digit-first formats like Twitch and YouTube. Publishers and developers are collaborating over opportunities to offer users direct engagement with their favourite streamers, players and games.
