The rise in smartphone and tablet gaming will continue in 2013, according to figures seen by Newsbeat. Industry analysts IHS Screen Digest think nearly £300 million will be spent on mobile games in the UK this year, up from just £100m three years ago. It is still significantly less than the £743m expected to be spent on console games but the gap is narrowing. Nine out of 10 apps are free to download but ‘freemium’ games, offering in-app purchases, are now more common.
