Availability of Pocket Starships Should Benefit SPYR's Growth in
eSports Market
NEW YORK, NY-(Marketwired - May 16, 2017) - Last month SPYR,
Inc. (OTCQB: SPYR) announced the first phase of a new Player vs.
Player (PvP) feature to its flagship free-to-play, MMO game Pocket
Starships. This update and each subsequent update are necessary to
bring the game into the fast growing and competitive electronic
sports or "eSports" arena. When all of the eSports updates are
completed, Pocket Starships will be ideally suited for the
"arena-style battles" in the eSports market that have the potential
to attract fans from all over the world who watch eSports teams
compete head-to-head for large cash prizes in sports arenas, online
and on television.
While these updates are in development, SPYR continues to expand
the availability of Pocket Starships. VK.com is the latest site
that now puts the real-time, cross platform game right at the
fingertips of its users. The social networking site, which is very
similar to Facebook, is the fifth most visited website in the
world, and it is the largest online social media and social
networking service in Europe.
The good news for SPYR is that, of VK's 95 million monthly
active users, 77% of those users, access the site on their mobile
devices. So, with gamers able to find Pocket Starships on VK,
Facebook Gameroom, on about 50 different game portals, online at
www.pocketstarships.com, at the Apple App Store, the Google Play
Store, etc., the game is available to mobile and online gamers
globally - and the game's global footprint continues to expand.
Because Pocket Starships is built upon a unique platform, it can
compete in both the eSports and the mobile eSports arenas. Unlike
most games in the mobile games industry, Pocket Starships is a true
cross-platform game that can be played in real time on a variety of
devices. So, whether you're playing the game on your Apple device
or your Android device, or on your laptop or your desktop, or on
your iPad or your Kindle, all gamers can play together and against
one another in the same "game universe."
The game's unique platform should prove to be an attractive
feature when Pocket Starships joins both the eSports and the mobile
eSports markets. Its versatility should help Pocket Starships, once
fully updated, to grow quickly in popularity in that industry.
SPYR is doing the hard part now - on the front end, by
continuing its global expansion and broadening the availability of
Pocket Starships. The growth of the game's footprint should only
benefit SPYR once the game is ready to compete in the eSports
market. Keep in mind that unlike competing in the digital games
space as a whole, the eSports market itself isn't nearly as crowded
yet with games that are outfitted to compete in "arena-style
battles," and the games capable of competing in the mobile eSports
space are even fewer.
So, when Pocket Starships is fully outfitted and ready to
compete for those gamers in the eSports/mobile eSports markets,
SPYR will find it much less crowded being one of only a handful of
games that are capable of competing on both arena-style battle
platforms.
