Video Game Technology: The Way to the Future
In recent years, video game technology changed the way we live, relate, plan and play. From virtual reality to artificial intelligence, video game technology paves the road to a future more immersive, interactive, and expansive.
The last twenty years have been stunning, but the next ten will be unbelievable.
Video game development on steroids
Technology inherently contains the ability to adapt and improve. It’s expanding toolset draws upon and tailors to our individual preferences in ways unthinkable even just a few years ago.
With video games, developers push the boundaries. AI and complex mechanics like motion tracking and fast streaming video are becoming an ingrained part of our life. This constant adaptation to change is in the DNA of companies like Streamline Studios.
The future is being built today.
The unique skills of video game developers
The emergence of the metaverse has revolutionized video gaming. Vast sums are being poured into its creation. Although the metaverse currently comprises only simulated environments, even in this early stage, it’s engineering immersive experiences, enabling users to connect and transact with others around the world.
Fierce and loyal gamers charge up these dynamic communities and video game developers craft worlds using the building blocks of the future metaverse.
What skills do video game developers bring to the table?
Virtual Reality
One of the most exciting developments in video game technology is the emergence of virtual reality (VR). VR allows users to step into a completely different world. They use the technology in fields such as education, healthcare, and entertainment.
Artificial Intelligence
Video game technology leads the way in artificial intelligence (AI). AI algorithms are used to create more realistic characters and environments in games, increasing engagement.
AI creates intelligent NPCs (non-playable characters) interacting with players on a deeper level.
Gamification
Video game technology outside of traditional gaming contexts is being used for gamification, applying game-like elements to non-game situations, such as education or fitness apps.
By adding elements like points systems or rewards for completing tasks, gamification can make even mundane activities more engaging and motivating.
Metaverse Solutions
Step into the vision of the metaverse and a world of limitless potential awaits. Customers engage with their peers through virtual avatars, immersive entertainment at its finest.

Streamline built a virtual world specifically to showcase the new designs of the fashion house Balenciaga, and as digital experiences become ever more prevalent, major companies across the world are embracing their role in creating and capitalizing on virtual ones.
From Nike to Microsoft, Gucci to Apple - many of these heavyweight brands have tapped into a new age of commerce: The Metaverse.
I believe brands that are looking to lead their industries over the next decade should have a plan in place to expand both within the metaverse and in the real world. Building a presence in the metaverse is all about increasing brand awareness and reach and engaging with more customers.

Interconnectivity of the coming virtual world
Video game developers have the expertise to unlock the potential of these virtual worlds. Their ability to understand the logic that powers these tech networks enables them to create exchanges of information, as well as organize transactions of both physical and digital goods.
These game development tools are critical for fostering much of the global exchange between users in video game ecosystems, which makes video game developers uniquely positioned for building interconnectivity within virtual worlds.
As our world moves towards virtual relationships, video game developers are key to bridging digital gaps in social interaction, entertainment, and online commerce.
Engineering the future
The future is one in which 3D virtual worlds will dominate, enabled by highly advanced engineering feats. Video game developers have already begun the work of engineering these intricate and lifelike worlds with their video games.
This serves as a bold statement to what video game developers have achieved through their software capabilities.
As video games continue to rise in popularity and expand in scope, they form the foundation for the next giant leap forward - boundless virtual worlds where users can communicate and collaborate with each other in real-time, interconnected across platforms in real-time.
Incredible 3D rendered worlds will be available to an unlimited number of users and will revolutionize our lives. Video game developers are paving the way for the future.
We’re going to be at GDC, and we’d love to meet you.
Set up a meeting here.
Either to discuss a project you are producing, or to join our team. You can tell from the games we’ve worked on—Final Fantasy, Street Fighter, Multiversus—we have a focused vision for the future of video game development. Let's talk about how we can work together.
