In this report, Technavio highlights the emergence of free-to-play gaming for console platform as one of the key emerging trends driving the global gaming market:

Emergence of free-to-play gaming for console platform

Free-to-play business model is the one wherein the game is free to play for the gamers. However, the revenue is generated using in-app purchase which is used to upgrade the games or by ads shown in the game. This revenue model is quite popular among mobile games and browser games, where-in most of the games are free-to-play.

According to a senior analyst at Technavio for gaming research, "Console gaming was the only platform where less than 2% of the games adopted the free-to-play concept. However, this trend is expected to change in the coming years with many new console games coming out with a free-to-play model. In January 2018, Tencent released its popular free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena game for Nintendo Switch."
