Digital entertainment trends rise during Halloween celebrations

Digital platforms are seeing increased engagement during Halloween, driven by mobile internet consumption and gaming. In Peru, mobile internet usage reached an average of 25.06 GB per month in the second quarter of 2026, representing a 21.11% increase compared to the same period in 2025, according to OSIPTEL.

In Ecuador, connectivity supports digital celebrations through video games and live streams, with ARCOTEL reporting 14.76 million mobile internet lines as of July 2026. The social aspect of gaming is significant, as an ESA/YouGov report noted that 87% of Gen Z players in the United States believe video games help build relationships.

Payment platforms like Paysafe are analyzing how digital payments facilitate access to games, expansions, and subscriptions, allowing users to participate in shared community experiences such as cooperative horror games or themed live streams on platforms like Twitch and Discord.
