In recent years, India has witnessed a remarkable transformation in its gaming landscape, propelled by the explosive growth of mobile gaming. From casual pastime to a thriving industry, mobile gaming has emerged as a dominant force in Indian esports, reshaping the competitive gaming scene and garnering global attention.

In this comprehensive analysis, we delve deep into the factors driving the dominance of mobile gaming in Indian esports, explore the key titles fueling this trend, and discuss the implications for the future of competitive gaming in India and beyond.

Why Mobile Reigns Supreme?

Affordability, convenience, increasing data accessibility, and robust social features have collectively contributed to the supremacy of mobile gaming in India. Smartphones, being significantly cheaper than high-end PCs or consoles, have made gaming accessible to a wider audience, particularly among India's youth. The convenience of mobile gaming allows for quick, pick-up-and-play sessions, catering to the fast-paced lifestyle of Indian gamers. Moreover, the proliferation of affordable data plans and wider network coverage has fueled online gaming on mobile devices, further driving the adoption of mobile gaming among Indian audiences.

SOHAM THACKER, Founder, Gamerji

"The rise in Indian esports started with the popularity of PUBG mobile from 2016 to 2020. After the ban of PUBG, other games such as Free Fire, Call of Duty & Fortnite started gaining traction. What we can note from this is that Indian esports market is heavily driven by first person shooter games on mobile devices."

Additionally, many mobile esports titles boast robust social features, fostering a strong sense of community among players and enhancing the overall gaming experience.
