Mobile gaming is the primary force behind India’s e-gaming surge. With affordable smartphones under ₹10,000 and the world's cheapest mobile internet, mobile-first games have found a huge audience. Titles like Ludo King, BGMI, Free Fire MAX, and Clash of Clans dominate app store charts. Hyper-casual and multiplayer games appeal to both urban and rural users, blurring traditional gamer stereotypes. Game publishers are now localizing content, offering regional languages, and culturally relevant themes to deepen engagement.
