We went from having no Indian game development industry to having one that is rapidly growing. But, at present, the Indian gaming industry is primarily focused on creating small-scale, casual and hyper-casual games. AAA games require a lot more resources, expertise and investment.

The lack of investment in the gaming industry is a major hindrance to the development of AAA games in India. Additionally, the government needs to provide more support to the industry and create a conducive environment for game developers to thrive.

The Indian gaming industry needs more platforms and events that bring together game developers, investors, and other stakeholders to share their knowledge, experiences and collaborate on projects.

More investment, infrastructure, and government support are needed to help Indian game developers break into the AAA segment and compete with the world’s leading game developers.
