Drones have become extremely popular over the past 2.5 years. This has been most influenced by the Russian-Ukrainian war, where hundreds of them were actively used every day. And not only for reconnaissance, but also to engage infantry, tanks, and even helicopters, which has already destroyed the association that drones are a toy for competition. And we shouldn't forget about ground-based drones, which, although not as popular as those used in the air, can still be found. However, in games, developers have been actively adding drones to their games for a long time (they obviously knew something). These are mostly military shooters set in a futuristic or near future. However, you can also control this gadget in games about hackers and in an FPV drone simulator, and someone has already made a game about the war in Ukraine, where you are a drone operator. So gg editorial team will tell you about 7 games where drones are an integral part of the game and can be controlled.
