As India’s gaming market continues its rapid growth, with Niko Partners forecasting it to generate $1.4 billion in revenue by 2028 and home to 730.7 million gamers, this roadmap is strategically positioned to capitalize on the immense opportunity. The initiative not only aims to engage the current player base but also to drive further expansion in the region, reinforcing the game's presence and community.
