With smartphones getting more powerful, we are seeing games becoming more engaging and now can even be compared to a few PC games which launched a few years ago. Recently, there have been quite a few games which have made their way over to Android which were only PC and Xbox exclusive such as PUBG.

This indicates that more and more smartphone users are starting to prefer to play games on their smartphone rather than purchasing games to play on a PC or gaming console. There are tons of different genre games available on the Google Play Store, however, MMO games seem to stand out and offer a lot more playable content than other genres of games.

Most MMO games offer a vast open world gaming experience where users are free to roam around and explore different areas of the map instead of having to stick to a small confined space in a map. There are hundreds upon hundreds of MMO game titles available on the Play Store, some of which are cross-platform games as well, which means you could play against or with players on PC as well as gaming consoles.
