India is no stranger to gaming, but when we talk about gaming, it often leads straight to mobile. With 500 million gamers, and a staggering 95% on mobile, it’s easy to see why. But the winds are shifting. As more gamers mature, they’re trading swipes and taps for clicks and keystrokes. Vishal Parekh, COO, CyberPowerPC India, takes us through this evolving landscape. From PC customization to cloud gaming and AI-driven optimization, the future of gaming in India looks, well, exciting.
• The Rise of PC Gaming: From Mobile Screens to Monitor Dreams
India might still be a “mobile-first” country, but the shift to PC gaming isn’t just a blip; it’s a wave building in the background. Sure, mobile gaming has been the gateway drug, with around 2.5 million esports players starting on mobile, but it’s the hardcore gamers who realize soon enough that mobile gaming is just the warm-up.
Within 18 months, many mobile gamers find themselves drawn to PC gaming. Why? It’s simple: immersion. PC gaming offers a more immersive experience compared to mobile. Once gamers switch to a PC, mobile becomes secondary. The deeper you go, the more you crave that full-throttle experience— bigger screens, sharper graphics, smoother gameplay.
Mobile phones, while convenient, are like Swiss Army knives of tech—they do everything, just not as well as specialized tools. And when you’re trying to take down the final boss or outplay an opponent in a high-stakes match, you need more than just a touch screen.
• Customization: Your PC, Your Rules
Ask any serious gamer, and they’ll tell you: gaming on a PC is like driving a car you built yourself. It’s all about customization. From the motherboard to the graphics card, you have control over everything. You can choose every component, from the motherboard to the GPU. This is a significant advantage for gamers who want to future-proof their setup.
