How Games in the Future Evolve for These Laptops

Published

on

 

Technology is evolving at a rapid speed, but so are the games. Can you even predict whether your laptop will be good enough in a couple of years? Keep on reading to find out!

Being able to game on the go is a privilege, but oftentimes, this will cost you about half the price of a proper gaming rig.

Needless to say, gaming laptops are taking gaming to another level – but if you’re choosing a new laptop, you have to be a bit more careful.

Since games are evolving at a rapid speed, so are the laptops. However, with the lack of space manufacturers are constantly battling with – it’s a bit hard to produce a laptop that will keep up with the latest game titles for years.

Therefore, finding a laptop that’s perfectly crafted so you won’t even have to think about purchasing a new one in at least the next 3 years is a good idea.

In this post, we’re not only going to talk about what makes a great gaming laptop and how you should choose one – but we’re also going to talk about the gaming industry and how games evolved in the years.

This will include our prediction for the evolvement of the games in the next couple of years, so even if you aren’t looking to purchase a new gaming laptop straight away, you’ll know what to expect!

 

Games are Becoming More Advanced than Ever Before

The gaming industry is almost as big as a TV industry, and with this being said, it’s no surprise that games are being announced every single year.

However, with every latest game title – plenty of improvements come with it. A decade ago – gameplay was the most important aspect of a game.

Nowadays, graphics are one of the most important factors, if not the most important factor. Even though gameplay has drastically downgraded in some game series – graphics is still the factor that most game manufacturers battle over.

Games aren’t what we used to know, and frankly, they involve a lot more into the craft. From the initial idea which starts the development to the engineering, rendering, recording, mixing, producing, and testing until the final product is a full-fledged game.

If you’re not a developer yet a sole gamer – you could still notice how advanced games have got by checking out one thing. This factor is the game specifications (requirements).

Since 1958 when physicists invented the first game until the early 2020 – games drastically developed into a different form.

But how bad did it get for gaming computer & laptop owners? Will your gaming laptop be able to endure another year of gaming and allow you to play some of the latest titles?

Keep on reading to find out!

 

Is Your Gaming Laptop Going to Keep Up With the Gaming Industry?

Not all games require the same specifications – however, some of the best games that are very well advertised and even played a lot more than its competitors require fairly high specifications.

Games such as Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files, and Paranormal Activity: The Lost Soul are among the games that require the highest specifications.

With the virtual reality industry booming and VR gaming is the newest trend – you will require a lot higher specifications if you decide to give VR gaming a try.

Since smooth gaming is all about the resolution, settings, and FPS (frames per second) you can achieve – these factors will tell you how good your laptop is.

Try playing some of the latest titles from 2019 and see how far you can push your gaming laptop. Are you able to play some of the latest games on a fairly high resolution and still get a fairly decent FPS?

If the answer is yes – your laptop still might be great for another year of gaming. However, if not, you might not have to get a new laptop right away. Instead, you might have to settle with playing the newest games on a slightly lower resolution and settings to get a fairly decent FPS.

 

What are some of the Best Laptops Specifications that will Keep up With the Games Evolvement?

However, if your gaming laptop is unfortunately not good enough for some of the latest titles you plan on playing – that’s okay.

Investing in an even better gaming laptop will help you play the latest game titles without having to think twice before downloading the game.

If you’re worried about the prices of the newest gaming laptops – there’s nothing to worry about since we can help you find a decent gaming laptop for a decent budget.

However, the recommended configuration for playing the latest game titles in 2020 is the following:

  • SSD or SSD + HDD (7,200 RPM)
  • NVIDIA GTX 1060 or 1070 (with at least 6 GB of VRAM)
  • At least an Intel i7-6700HQ processor

And here are a couple of tips that will help you choose a laptop for high-end titles you could play in 2020:

  1. Don’t choose a laptop for low-end game titles
  2. Larger laptops (17” & 18”) are most often more powerful
  3. Avoid touchscreen gaming laptops
  4. Pay attention to the keyboard
  5. SSD is a must
  6. Don’t go for M version graphics cards

Now when you know how to choose a gaming laptop and what to look out for, check this post to find out the best gaming laptops under $1000

 

Conclusion

There’s no way to avoid the evolution of the gaming industry and this includes both the latest game titles and gaming laptops & computers.

However, knowing what to look out for and how to ensure your gaming laptop keeps up with the gaming industry is a good way to keep running one laptop through multiple gaming seasons.

It’s very easy to overspend on a gaming laptop that won’t do as good as some other cheaper laptops, in the long run.

But with the proper guide and knowing exactly what to look out for – you won’t only cut your spending, but you will also increase value to money which makes justifying your spending a lot easier.

What are some of the game titles you look forward to playing in 2020? How good is your laptop’s configuration?

AGS details OIGA 2026 lineup, including Spectra SL75+ and Revel updates

Supplier confirms booth 732 at the July 20-22 show in Oklahoma City and outlines new game titles plus BSX table progressives.

AGS said it will attend the 2026 Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) Conference and Trade Show on July 20-22 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center, where it plans to present new slot content, cabinet updates, and its table progressive platform. The company will exhibit at booth 732.

In a statement, AGS CEO and President David Lopez positioned the show as a homecoming tied to the company’s Class II history in the state. ”Oklahoma is not just another dot on the map for us. It’s where we started and where we learned how to be a true gaming supplier,” Lopez said. “You can’t fake it in Oklahoma. Tribal customers know the games, they know the math, they know service, and they know who shows up every time. That has been great for AGS, because it forced us to get better. It made us more disciplined while keeping us honest. We’ve grown a lot since then – Class III, tables, interactive, offices all over the place – but our history in Oklahoma and Class II is not something we moved on from. It’s part of the AGS engine.”

On the slots side, AGS said its showcase will include the large-format Spectra SL75+™ cabinet, which supports the Spectra game library, including premium titles when leased. The company said the cabinet will be used to highlight five new titles: Rakin’ Bacon! Fu Zhu Bao Bao™; Rakin’ Bacon! 5 Prosperity Pots™; Cash Carriage Looter™; Da Da Luo Boom™; and Frightful Fortunes Popping Pumpkins™.

AGS also outlined its mechanical stepper cabinet Revel®, available in both Class II and Class III, and said its latest Revel portfolio includes Crystal Reels® and Royal Reels®. The company added that Jackpot Legends™ and So Hot Cash® are set to debut in Class III later this year, with Class II launches following in 2027.

For tables, AGS highlighted its Bonus Spin Xtreme® (BSX) progressive platform, which the company said links table games across the pit and poker room. AGS did not disclose operator deployments, jackpot figures, or performance metrics tied to BSX in the announcement.

Expandirse en LatAm: el costo oculto que enfrenta la industria del iGaming

Gestionar fondos en múltiples mercados: el cuello de botella oculto que frena el crecimiento del iGaming en América Latina

Argentina, 13 de julio de 2026 – Escalar un negocio de iGaming en América Latina implica gestionar infraestructuras de pago paralelas, fondos de liquidez separados y procesos de conciliación desconectados en cada país. Para los operadores que buscan expandirse a nivel regional, esta fragmentación se ha convertido en un costo tangible: consume tiempo, inmoviliza capital, reduce los márgenes a medida que el negocio crece y aumenta la complejidad operativa con cada nuevo mercado.

Brasil marcó el ritmo con ingresos por 37.000 millones de reales en 2025, el primer año completo del mercado bajo un marco regulatorio, según datos de la Secretaría de Premios y Apuestas (SPA). Argentina, Perú, México y Chile también continuaron atrayendo operadores con estrategias de expansión regional. Sin embargo, en la práctica, estas compañías siguen enfrentándose al mismo obstáculo: infraestructuras financieras que operan de manera aislada, con poca o ninguna interoperabilidad entre sí.

Cada mercado funciona sobre rieles de pago locales sin un equivalente directo en otros países. En Brasil, Pix, incluido Pix Biométrico, representa la gran mayoría de las transacciones, especialmente tras la prohibición del uso de tarjetas de crédito y boletos bancarios para las apuestas. En Argentina, las CVU y las transferencias instantáneas cuenta a cuenta (A2A) impulsan los depósitos y retiros; en México ese rol lo cumplen las transferencias SPEI A2A, mientras que en Colombia corresponde a BRE-B. En Chile, MACH se ha convertido en el método de pago preferido por una gran parte de los jugadores y, en Perú, ese lugar lo ocupa Yape. Ninguna de estas infraestructuras de pago se integra de forma nativa con las demás, lo que significa que un operador presente en todos estos mercados termina administrando una infraestructura financiera independiente en cada uno de ellos.

El impacto va mucho más allá del procesamiento de pagos. Cuando los fondos circulan a través de sistemas desconectados entre distintas jurisdicciones, cada una con sus propias normas fiscales y ciclos de liquidación, los operadores pierden visibilidad en tiempo real sobre su posición de caja. Como consecuencia, decisiones que deberían basarse en información precisa y actualizada terminan dependiendo de consolidaciones manuales y estimaciones.

“Vimos venir este escenario antes que el mercado. A medida que la regulación maduró en Brasil, Argentina, Perú, Colombia y el resto de la región, el mayor desafío para los operadores dejó silenciosamente de ser ‘¿podemos ingresar al mercado?’ para convertirse en ‘¿podemos controlar lo que ocurre dentro de nuestra operación?’. Las operaciones financieras fragmentadas son hoy uno de los principales obstáculos para una expansión regional rentable y el problema se agrava, no se reduce, cuanto más crece una empresa. Los ganadores no se definirán por su presencia geográfica, sino por su capacidad de tener visibilidad, control y una gestión integrada. Esa es la convicción sobre la que se construyó OKTO PAYMENTS: infraestructura de pagos local en cada mercado, con una única capa de control financiero por encima, conectada mediante una sola API para todo el continente”, afirmó Filippos Antonopoulos, fundador y CEO de OKTO PAYMENTS.

Para los proveedores de servicios de pago (PSP), dar soporte a operadores presentes en múltiples mercados requiere mucho más que conectividad con los métodos de pago locales. Exige combinar infraestructura local con una capa centralizada de gestión financiera que proporcione visibilidad en tiempo real sobre los fondos, la conciliación y la liquidez entre distintas jurisdicciones. El objetivo es administrar los pagos no como integraciones independientes por país, sino como un marco unificado de control financiero distribuido en múltiples mercados.

OKTO PAYMENTS fue diseñado precisamente para responder a ese desafío. Los operadores realizan una única integración y acceden a los métodos de pago locales que los jugadores esperan en cada mercado: Pix en Brasil, CVU y A2A en Argentina, MACH en Chile, Yape en Perú, entre otros. Sobre esa infraestructura funciona una única capa de tesorería y conciliación que consolida fondos, liquidez y liquidaciones en una vista unificada y en tiempo real, permitiendo que los equipos financieros dejen de conciliar mercado por mercado para gestionar una única posición regional.

Para los operadores que están planificando o acelerando su expansión regional, OKTO PAYMENTS ofrece una evaluación de su infraestructura financiera para identificar dónde la fragmentación está generando costos hoy, ya sea por capital inmovilizado, demoras en las liquidaciones o pérdida de visibilidad financiera. Para solicitar una evaluación, los interesados pueden contactar al equipo comercial de OKTO PAYMENTS.

AGS today announced it will be attending the 2026 Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association (OIGA) Conference and Trade Show, taking place July 20-22 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center.

With deep seated roots in Oklahoma, where AGS was founded and where its primary warehouse and production facility is located, AGS is eager to return to OIGA with a continued commitment to serving the needs of tribal operators.

”Oklahoma is not just another dot on the map for us. It’s where we started and where we learned how to be a true gaming supplier,” said David Lopez, CEO and President of AGS. “You can’t fake it in Oklahoma. Tribal customers know the games, they know the math, they know service, and they know who shows up every time. That has been great for AGS, because it forced us to get better. It made us more disciplined while keeping us honest. We’ve grown a lot since then – Class III, tables, interactive, offices all over the place – but our history in Oklahoma and Class II is not something we moved on from. It’s part of the AGS engine.”

The Company’s product showcase will include the large-format, specialty cabinet Spectra SL75+™. Designed to support the entire Spectra game library, including premium titles when leased, Spectra SL75+ gives operators added flexibility to mix and match content to fit their unique casino floor.

The cabinet acts as the perfect canvas to highlight five new titles including Rakin’ Bacon! Fu Zhu Bao Bao™ and Rakin’ Bacon! 5 Prosperity Pots™, Cash Carriage Looter™, Da Da Luo Boom™, and Frightful Fortunes Popping Pumpkins™.

AGS’ high-performing mechanical stepper cabinet Revel® – available in both Class II and Class III – is redefining the category by blending traditional mechanical gameplay with video-inspired features, creating an engaging experience for all player types. The latest Revel portfolio includes Crystal Reels® and Royal Reels®, available in both Class II and Class III. Expanding the lineup, Jackpot Legends™ – a new cash-on-reels title featuring an exciting Jackpot Bonus Wheel – and So Hot Cash®, which delivers classic stepper gameplay and can be linked to the So Hot Grand progressive, are set to debut in Class III later this year, with Class II launches following in 2027.

On the table side, AGS’ award-winning progressive platform Bonus Spin Xtreme® (BSX) has been hugely successful in turning small side bets into massive jackpots throughout the tribal casino market. Linking all table games – from the pit to the poker room – BSX has been elemental in allowing operators to offer the flexibility at the tables to make these life-changing wins become more common.

AGS’ participation in OIGA reflects the Company’s history in Oklahoma and its longstanding commitment to the tribal gaming community. More than a trade show presence, OIGA is an opportunity for AGS to reconnect with valued partners, strengthen relationships, and reaffirm its respect for the Oklahoma Tribes that have played such an important role in the Company’s growth.

Attendees are invited to visit AGS at booth 732 throughout the show.
