With the increasing availability of smartphones and affordable data plans, more people have access to mobile games than ever before. Additionally, the younger demographic in Turkey has embraced mobile gaming as a popular form of entertainment, with many preferring to play games on their smartphones rather than on traditional gaming consoles or PCs.

Trends in the market: One major trend in the Turkish mobile games market is the rise of multiplayer and social gaming. Turkish gamers enjoy connecting with friends and other players through mobile games, and developers have responded by creating games that encourage social interaction and competition. This trend has been further fueled by the widespread use of social media platforms in Turkey, which provide a convenient way for gamers to connect and share their gaming experiences. Another trend in the market is the increasing popularity of in-app purchases and freemium models. Turkish gamers are willing to spend money on virtual items and enhancements within games, which has led to the growth of the mobile gaming industry in terms of revenue. Developers have capitalized on this trend by offering a wide range of in-app purchases and premium features, enticing players to spend more on their favorite games.

Local special circumstances: Turkey has a large and growing population, which provides a significant market for mobile games. The country also has a high smartphone penetration rate, with a large portion of the population owning a smartphone. This widespread adoption of smartphones has created a favorable environment for the growth of the mobile games market in Turkey.

As a result, more people are able to afford smartphones and data plans, leading to a larger potential customer base for mobile games.
