Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Montenegrin mobile games market is the rise of casual gaming. Casual games, which are easy to learn and play, have gained popularity among a wide range of consumers, including those who are new to gaming.

The popularity of AR and VR games is expected to continue growing in Montenegro, as more developers and publishers invest in these technologies.

Local special circumstances: Montenegro's relatively small population and tourism-driven economy have influenced the development of the mobile games market in the country. The tourism industry has attracted a diverse range of visitors from around the world, including gamers who may be interested in mobile gaming during their stay. This has created a demand for localized mobile games that cater to the preferences and interests of international tourists, providing them with a unique gaming experience that reflects Montenegrin culture and attractions.
