The most searched-for gaming accessories
- The most searched-for types of gaming accessories are VR headsets, gaming keyboards and gaming headsets
- The most searched-for brand-specific gaming accessories are Razer headsets, Playseat gaming chairs and SteelSeries headsets
Trends in searches for certain products can reflect purchase habits, what’s being spoken about the most, and rises and falls in the popularity of certain gadgets. It appears that VR (virtual reality) has captured the public’s attention over the past year – topping the list of most searched-for types of accessories and making it into the top 10 of product-specific searches. It’s gaming headsets and gaming chairs that crop up the most across both categories, however.

| Gaming chair accessories | 1,100 | Noble gaming chairs | 25,000 |
| Gaming streaming equipment | 340 | Oculus VR headsets | 20,900 |
The best-selling gaming accessories
- Wired headsets and mice are more popular than wireless models, in terms of sales last year
- Based on Currys sales figures, PC gaming accessories are higher in demand than console gaming gadgets
With wired gaming headsets and mice topping the list of the best-selling gaming accessories of 2020, it’s apparent that the wired editions are more popular than wireless devices. This is likely because gamers feel the USB provides a more stable and responsive connection. On the other hand, wireless models can offer more freedom of movement without tangled wires in the way. PC gaming gadgets are also in higher demand than console accessories, potentially due to the more customisable nature of a PC gaming setup.
| Top 10 best-selling gaming accessories | |
| Type of accessory | Total orders in 2020 |
| Wired Gaming Headsets | 57,848 |
| Wired Gaming Mice | 37,333 |
| PC Gaming Chairs | 22,655 |
| Gaming Keyboards | 21,083 |
| Mechanical Gaming Keyboards | 19,103 |
| Wireless Gaming Headsets | 17,907 |
| Gaming Wheels | 13,583 |
| Console Headsets | 12,435 |
| Wireless Gaming Mice | 8,833 |

Aviamasters™ 2
New Aviamasters™ 2 from BGaming Drives Larger Payouts
Rapidly expanding content provider fuels up for another high-flying hit in this groundbreaking sequel
Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is taking to the skies once again for the sequel to its award-winning Aviamasters
casual game, Aviamasters
2.
The organic growth of Aviamasters
, which made it BGaming’s biggest #Casual viral hit, inspired the decision to make the sequel. The game sees Aviamasters
soar to new heights, with improved graphics, exciting new features, and an increased maximum multiplier, which has quadrupled from x250 to x1,000.
Aviamasters
became famous across streaming platforms worldwide, with streamers and players shouting “LAND!” as they watched their planes stack up wins mid-flight. These core landing mechanics remain the same in the sequel. Players watch as their plane flies through the sky, gathering wins and collecting multipliers, all while trying to avoid dangerous obstacles and land safely.
Four booster symbols can be picked up during any flight, while the Buy Bonus mode, known as the Safe Landing feature, can guarantee a landing for x50 the player’s stake. Players should be aware that Safe Landing increases their stake on each spin and can be deactivated at any time.
Aviamasters
found success with the streaming community, and BGaming has tapped into this relationship during the creative process for Aviamasters
2. Selected streamers have provided feedback on the gameplay, ensuring it exceeds the high standards set by the original.
Aviamasters
2 also tweaks the sound and visuals to appeal to a wider audience. These changes make the game more casual-looking, inviting players to enjoy its fast rounds and unpredictable features. Like the original, it will be added to BGaming’s #Casual portfolio.
It is not just players and streamers who will benefit from Aviamasters
2. The game can also be customised to reflect operator branding, providing the title with a wide reach and high marketing potential. The original game delivered viral moments that converted into traffic and big hits for operators, and the sequel promises more of the same.
Vasili Pauliuchenko, Game Producer at BGaming, said, “The first Aviamasters
was a massive hit for us, with players loving its signature “LAND!” mechanics. With Aviamasters
2, we have kept everything that players loved about the original title and improved upon it.
The game is bigger and better than its predecessor, building on its success with greater winning potential and even more gameplay features. We can’t wait to hear even more shouts of “LAND!” coming from players when the sequel hits casino lobbies.”

Motorola Becomes the Official Smartphone Partner of FIFA Heroes Game
Motorola, a Lenovo company, has become the official smartphone partner of the recently announced FIFA Heroes game, published by Solace. FIFA Heroes is an arcade-style, 5-a-side football title that, for the first time, features real players, mascots and fictional IP characters on the same pitch. This partnership brings together Motorola’s cutting-edge mobile technology and the game’s immersive gaming experience, creating a seamless experience for fans to enjoy the world’s most popular sport in a fun and interactive way.
As the official smartphone partner for the FIFA World Cup 2026, Motorola is committed to bringing the excitement of the tournament directly into consumers’ hands. FIFA Heroes delivers on that promise, offering fans innovative, mobile-first experiences that keep them connected to this unique moment in time.
With this partnership, Motorola’s presence will extend across multiple touchpoints. Motorola will appear directly within the FIFA Heroes game, and many upcoming Motorola smartphones will include instant access to the newest FIFA-licensed mobile game. Fans can also download the game from the Google Play Store, making it simple to play from anywhere.
All Motorola users will gain access to exclusive in-game content designed just for them, including power up tokens and gems, game emotes, a retro razr goal celebration, playable characters, and more. This content is part of a broader collaboration that will unfold through a series of global activations, leading up to and throughout the FIFA World Cup 26, giving fans around the globe new ways to connect with the action, on and off the pitch.
Beyond the content itself, the partnership introduces a gaming experience designed specifically for the brand new razr fold, redefining what a foldable form factor can bring to the gaming space. This exclusive experience optimizes the device’s large 8.1″ unfolded display so that players get an expanded view of the pitch that keeps the action fully in focus. Plus, the extra screen space makes it so that controls can sit comfortably below gameplay for an unobstructed display, and also gives players the flexibility to customise their layout for optimal ergonomics.
“This collaboration goes beyond gaming—it’s about delivering an experience that feels faster, smoother, and more connected for every fan. By working closely with Solace and FIFA, we’ve optimized FIFA Heroes for Motorola devices so players get the best possible performance right out of the box. It’s a powerful way to show how our technology enhances the way people play, connect, and experience entertainment, and we’re excited to share even more in the months ahead,” said François LaFlamme, Chief Marketing Officer at Motorola.
