Cloud gaming platform and service revenue in Asia will grow from $270 million and three million consumers in 2019 to $3 billion and 60 million players in 2023, according to a forecast by market researcher Niko Partners.

By 2028, Niko estimates the number of users could surpass 500 million gamers. It expects the growth to happen in part because cloud gaming could remove the cost and platform barriers to gaming that currently exist for many people around the globe.
