Growth of online gaming
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit the country, we have witnessed a massive spike in the number of online gamers in India. Many turned to online gaming, especially on mobile phones, for entertainment. Most of the popular mobile games including Free Fire and Call of Duty: Mobile are available for free. Yesterday, Respawn Entertainment even launched Apex Legends Mobile in beta in the country. The advent of 5G and 4G has also given a boost to online gaming in India.
Online games are proving to be helpful in keeping stress and depression away in these trying times. By indulging in an online video game together, players are experiencing a sense of closeness and it’s crucial especially now when everyone is forced to stay indoors amid the second wave of COVID-19 that is mercilessly ravaging through the country.
