Firefly Games commit to developing mobile gaming in Australia with new Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes competition

VICTORIA, Australia, May 6, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the release of a social competition to promote their new game Zombie Rollerz: Pinball Heroes, Firefly Games has announced its intentions to grow the mobile gaming market, with particular attention in the Australian and Oceanic markets. While PC, Console & Handheld games are in decline, mobile gaming has boomed to US$85 Billion, now accounting for more than 51% of the total $165 Billion in computer gaming revenue.

The pandemic a primary catalyst for the upswing in gaming. Global user numbers increased 12% in 2020, and Q1 2021 has shown no signs of slowing down, with $22 billion spent.
