How PWAs Make Game Development Easy and Accessible!

This is a submission for the Web Game Challenge: One Byte Explainer

Explainer

Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) merge web and mobile apps, providing offline access, push notifications, and enhanced performance. For game developers, PWAs enable cross-device play without installation, boosting accessibility.

Additional Context

When considering PWAs for game development, it's important to note that traditional game apps can be bulky, leading to hesitations about downloading due to high storage and data costs. In contrast, PWA games require significantly less space up to 25 times less and can cut data usage by as much as 90%. Additionally, developing a PWA game is often more cost effective than creating a native app. This means developers can reach a wider audience while minimizing barriers for players, making gaming more accessible for everyone. you can learn more about PWAs here MDN Web Docs
