Second screen-oplevelser er blevet lidt af et buzz-ord inden for spilbranchen det seneste år, og udviklerne falder nærmest over hinanden for at tilbyde companion-apps, som man kan bruge mens man spiller.
Mark Rein, vice-chef og medgrundlægger af Epic Games, er dog ikke overbevidst endnu, og siger til AlistDaily at vi ikke har set et eksempel på teknikken, der for alvor tilføjede værdi. Han udlukker dog ikke at second screen-aps har en fremtid.
"I think we've yet to see the real value of the second screen idea, if you're talking about [Xbox] SmartGlass and companion apps and things like that. But that doesn't mean that it won't be big one day. I don't really know what it is yet".
"Where it fits into gaming, I don't know. I'm not sold on picking up my tablet to choose my play and then putting it back down and picking up my controller. It's kind of a wonky way to choose to play, so I don't know if that's how it's going to go or not. Developers should try everything and have lots of fun with it, and sooner or later there will be a killer app for that sort of thing, too".
