So in mobile phone Game (Android, iOS), PC game, how to implement that (title)?

In game, game company's specific crypto currency's address, QR code appears for payment receiving,

gamers see that, and send amount to that address, it should be automatically recognize and when it confirmed, game should automatically give item to users.

How this be done technically behind the scene?

It is also relevant to know the cost of the purchases.  Unless it is expensive, you’ll also probably want to be using lightning in order to keep costs down and transactions instant.   Otherwise if bitcoin transaction costs increase or the number of transactions waiting spikes, your mobile gamers won’t have a good experience. 

I haven’t seen code snippets to implement this specifically, but it shouldn’t be tricky and the logic should be like the ones above.  Lightning though will be a critical part for a bitcoin payment - and since you asked here in the Bitcoin section not the alt coin area, that seems to be the plan.
