The development of gaming in India has its own peculiarities. As stated in https://www.republicworld.com/initiatives/the-future-of-gaming-in-india-playstation-xbox-or-mobile, mobile gaming here clearly wins in terms of accessibility and simplicity. For most people in India, a smartphone is not just a means of communication, but also the main tool for entertainment. In recent years, mobile games such as PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, Call of Duty Mobile and others have gained enormous popularity, including due to the fact that they offer high-quality graphics and interesting gameplay at minimal cost. Mobile phones in India are much more affordable than consoles, and this is of great importance. Almost everyone has a phone, while buying a PlayStation or Xbox remains a luxury for many. However, it is important to understand that despite the obvious leadership of mobile devices, the console market in India is still not standing still. In the past few years, companies such as Sony and Microsoft have begun to actively promote their consoles in India. Examples of this are discounts on consoles, localization of games and improvements in infrastructure, such as access to Internet services. But it is worth noting that PlayStation and Xbox are still quite expensive products for most Indians. The prices of games for these consoles also cannot be compared with the price of mobile games, which are often free or offer microtransactions. In this regard, mobile games are a truly accessible and mass entertainment platform.
