The current trends we are seeing is 4 player streamer bait, they are session based games with about 4 players and ingame voice chat which allow streamers to scream at one another for 30 minute sessions. This follows on from Phasmaphobia which also released 2020.

It is 2025 and we are seeing the release of more openworld gacha games releasing on pc and console which is 5 years after Genshin's standout release, since then we have had Tear's of the kingdom, Baldur's gate 3 and Expedition 33 that standout, so I can see games inspired by them in the works.

Isometric rpg with gacha and timing based turn based combat and maybe some sandbox object crafting using random things in the world you stick together. Gaming follow very obvious trends but development cycles means that trendsetters are often 4 years ahead the first to follow.

This mostly mean they will not providing ps4 versions of games since most games this generation are crossgen if not opting into last gen only because backwards compat.

I have also noticed a trend of people wanting to break their phone habits and are finding ways to replace their phones. It isn't a new thing to do, I remember people doing 10 years ago and that was when it was too much for people back then.

I have been considering an mp3 player ever since I found my old lightsaber one. I have zero attachment to my phone since I have had a barely functional one for like 3 years so a separate device for music that isn't reliant on the internet would be nice.
