What Will Gaming and Video Entertainment Be Like in 2030?

McKinsey & Company | Jacomo Corbo, Jonathan Dunn, Tom Svrcek, and Kristi Tausk   | Jun 29, 2022

McKinsey experts predict that video entertainment, in all its forms, will become more immersive, gamified, and personalized

A decade from now, what we watch—as well as how and where we watch it—could be dramatically different. Four McKinsey experts imagine the future.

Kristi Tausk: In a horror film, right now you get scared by somebody jumping out on screen.

You’re in it; you’re in the movie with the actors and experiencing it with them more than we really do today.

And then you can continue that game with that community when you get home to your game console or episodically over the next several months.

Jacomo Corbo: Think of levels of difficulty within a game that are automatically personalized and calibrated to your patterns of play in ways that will drive engagement but ultimately will make the experience more compelling and persuasive to you.

Those three things are what we tell leaders in the industry they have to do if they want to be part of what’s going to happen next.
