Published

on

According to a new market research report titled, Sports Technology Market by Offering (Wearables, Digital Signages, Cameras, Smart Stumps & Bails, Snicko/Edge Detector, VAR, Sports NFT, Tracking Systems, Sports Analytics), Technology, Sport, End User, and Geography – Global Forecast to 2030’the sports technology market is projected to reach $25.70 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 26.2% during the forecast period 2023–2030.

The increasing emergence of sports leagues & events with large prize pools and the increasing adoption of AR/VR for creating near-perfect training environments are some of the factors which are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players operating in the sports technology market.

However, very minimal monetization opportunities, difficulty in mining athletic performance data for generating easily understandable insights, and high risk of cybersecurity concerns may hinder the growth of this market. Complexity in integrating new technologies with older systems or applications, slow cultural change in sports, and lack of time-efficient solutions for cleaning and manipulating siloed data are some of the major challenges faced by the players operating in the sports technology market.

Furthermore, the increasing use of generative AI, NFT ticketing and streamlining sports events ticket buying & selling process, and the use of predictive analysis software helping teams & coaches make better decisions are the latest trends in the sports technology market.

Increasing Adoption of Fan Engagement Technologies to Drive Market Growth

Technology is strengthening the bond fans have with their favorite teams and athletes—allowing sports clubs and associations to create deeper, more meaningful connections that are easier to maintain from a distance. Fan engagement has evolved from shouting slogans from the stands to making an impact using digital tools. Sports leagues and clubs worldwide, such as Australian Open, the English Premier League, Formula One, the Rugby Union World Cup, FIFA, ICC, etc., are actively looking for ways to engage with their fans and create a competitive advantage by providing demographics like millennials and Gen Z a highly personalized experience from brands they engage with while being on the go.

According to the Sports Fan Engagement Marketing Report (2018) by Gameplan Insights and Magid Associates, about 60% of sports fans are willing to spend more on experiences with their favorite teams and athletes. Using data analytics, UX researchers, and other research techniques, sports clubs and associations increasingly try to gather insights about their fans before providing the right experience. By collecting data and leveraging technologies like AI and machine learning, sports clubs and leagues map out audience journeys, understand behaviors, and deliver insights supporting fan engagement. For instance, in the context of a starting quarterback for an NFL team, data analytics can reveal how many of their fans are dedicated followers who attend games and buy merchandise. It can also show how the number of people following them changes over time, which helps to identify new fans.

Sports technology is increasingly used for improving the live experience of sports. Using data analytics, and video-based AI technologies, sports brands can create a more engaging experience for their fans. For instance, the baseball team The San Francisco Giants created a virtual reality experience allowing their fans to see how it feels like a batter swinging his bat or a pitcher throwing that ball. Sports fans love to experience things in new and exciting ways, and emerging technologies provide the platform to deliver new experiences.

FBM® is gearing up for another impactful participation at the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association Conference & Tradeshow (OIGA), taking place from July 14 to 16 at the OKC Convention Center in Oklahoma City. This year, FBM will join Delta Gaming Solutions at Booth 918, presenting four standout slot products that represent the latest chapter in its expansion in the US gaming market.

FBM’s presence at OIGA 2025 comes at a strategic time, following a series of key accomplishments in the past 12 months.

  • Jí Hǎo Link™ Spirits is the perfect choice for players seeking thrilling, long-lasting, and entertaining gaming sessions. The unpredictability of the Spirits feature, which can reward players with free “flights” and big wins during the main game or free spins, builds excitement around the Golden Lóng™ Spirits and Eternal Fènghuáng™ Spirits titles.
  • Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees™ brings excitement, suspense, and adrenaline to any casino floor with game mechanics based on the Prosperity, Strength, and Fortune accumulators. The Xing Fú Fortune Money Trees bonus can offer up to seven different game experiences and is the gateway to collect the four available jackpots present on this slot theme.

Limited Run Games Achieves the Impossible: Announcing Pre-Orders for Standard and Collector Editions of DOOM(™) on the Super Nintendo™ Entertainment System!

Published

limited-run-games-achieves-the-impossible:-announcing-pre-orders-for-standard-and-collector-editions-of-doom()-on-the-super-nintendo-entertainment-system!

Limited Run Games, a premium publisher of physical and digital games, announced today the opening of pre-orders for the long-awaited DOOM, arriving on physical cartridge for use with the Super Nintendo™ Entertainment System!

To celebrate this remarkable release, Limited Run Games are also pleased to announce the opening of pre-orders for the SNES™ compatible Rumble Tech Controller, bringing vibration technology to SNES games for the very first time!

In a move that only Limited Run Games could have the audacity to pull off, the impossible became real, partnering with Bethesda Softworks to introduce a remarkable special edition of the classic game, some 30 years after the original DOOM first debuted for the SNES™.

Headed up by legendary programming wizard Randal Linden, who first worked on DOOM for the SNES in 1995, this enhanced version is no mere re-release of the original. Determined to do justice to the iconic shooter which birthed the modern FPS, this new version expands upon the original with a host of new features, ‘impossible’ graphical tricks and engineering dark magic that will leave 16-bit gamers breathless with excitement!

Created utilizing an all-new, custom-made board, designed specifically for this project, Limited Run Games’ version of DOOM for the Super Nintendo, greatly enhances performance which SNES enthusiasts will scarcely believe possible. Limited Run Games have fully restored the entire DOOM experience, featuring all four episodes of DOOM including ‘Thy Flesh Consumed,’ which was originally introduced in 1995 as part of the updated PC release ‘The Ultimate DOOM. There’s much more than that though, also included are levels that were missing from the original release due to technical limitations, with five new levels implemented including E1M6, E2M2, E2M5, E2M7 and E3M5, delivering a complete DOOM experience for the humble SNES for the very first time.

Limited Run Games ain’t done yet: In addition to the improved performance and restored levels, DOOM now proudly includes support for circle-strafe, monster re-spawning on Nightmare difficulty, an appearance by the dreaded translucent Spectre monster, full-motion video logos and so much more.

A release this special demands a new controller to take advantage of the enhanced features, and here, Limited Run Games have gone the extra mile. Pre-orders open on 7/11/25 for the SNES compatible Rumble Tech Controller (sold separately), an open-source gamepad which will feel familiar to fans of the original SNES controller but now comes complete with powerful dual vibration support! Naturally, this new version of DOOM includes rumble support, but Limited Run Games are showing love to the community, offering open-source support to developers and modders, allowing third parties to update their games to include rumble support or code new titles utilizing the feature!

Back to the game and players will take note of a new music player which has been included to relive the superb score of the game, high quality title and score-card screens added, and a Level Selection menu alongside a Level Code system, which allow gamers to tackle DOOM in the method of their choosing.

It’s DOOM that shouldn’t be possible, fusing old-school technology with state-of-the-art enhancements to deliver a thrilling new take on the iconic game.

Two versions of DOOM for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System will be available, with both open for pre-order on 7/11/25:

Doom Standard Edition – Super Nintendo Entertainment System – $99.99 MSRP

 

  • Metallic Gunmetal Colored SNES Cart
  • Instruction Booklet
  • 12” x 16” Poster
  • Retro SNES Box

Doom Collector’s Edition – Super Nintendo Entertainment System- $174.99 MSRP

 

  • Exclusive Collector’s Edition SNES cartridge – Metallic-ink Gunmetal color with Blood Splatter print and Metal Plate Label
  • Premium Embossed Foil Box
  • Instruction Booklet
  • 12” x 16” Poster
  • Individually Numbered Certificate of Authenticity
  • Limited to 666 copies

Pre-orders for Doom on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System go live on 7/11/25, but be quick, pre-orders close on 8/10/25. Visit Limited Run Games for more information.
