What are popular games for Indian players?

Whether you're opting to play online games or offline games, these days, there is an enormous choice available. Online games offer faster gaming, better interaction with other players, and faster fixes if something goes wrong. On the other hand, offline games can be more detailed, longer-lasting and have better graphics and overall gameplay as they don't need to be streamed, but rather, are downloaded in one.

Everyone has a preference, though, and whichever one players in India choose, there's a lot to pick from. With all this in mind, let's take a look at some of the most popular offline and online games for Indian players.

 

Great online games to play

For instance, some of the top games to play in India are those found on casino sites. A very popular option is the Indian game Teen Patti. These days, it's increasingly prevalent at online casinos and is usually available in both virtual and live dealer form. Similarly, another incredibly popular Indian game, Andar Bahar, is also more prevalent online at casinos. Not only that but when these are in live dealer form, the best casinos offer them in native languages, such as Hindi, not just in English.

However, while there are some great online casino games, there are other popular online games loved by Indian players as well. For instance, PUBG Mobile, despite getting banned, was hugely popular. While it's not available anymore, there are still talks that the game will come back in a different form, as the reason for its banning was due to data security rather than the game itself.

Another incredibly popular online game in India is Free Fire. It's a mobile game that operates much like other battle royale-style games. In-app purchases are also available allowing players to customize their skins, accessories and weapons while playing.

Finally, there is also the huge popularity of Among Us. Not only was this a viral hit in India, but it was also a hit throughout the rest of the world. It's a multiplayer game allowing players to work together to create a spaceship. However, it's not as easy as it sounds, as players have to identify who are the imposters as well. Among Us, while still popular, became more so thanks to the Covid lockdowns as it allowed players to interact and 'hang out' together in an online format.

 

Top offline games to try

While online games do offer much more in the way of interactivity with others, there may come a time when you need access to games when you don't have internet access. For instance, if you're travelling or away in the wilderness somewhere. With that in mind, there are many different offline games that are playable without an internet connection.

Popular on a global basis, Baldur's Gate 3 is an exciting horror-fantasy epic game that can be downloaded to a range of different devices. Unlike some of the online games, though, this does need to be purchased in order to play. In fact, this is the situation for many games of this type. Many of these also require specialized game consoles to play them, though there are still some that can be played on tablets and mobile devices once they have been downloaded, such as the aforementioned Baldur's Gate.

A similar option is Red Dead Redemption 2, which has long seen popularity on the Xbox. It's available in many different formats and offers a long-lasting story game with multiple challenges and adventures to solve and participate in. Finally, Indian players can enjoy popular games such as The Souls Borne Trilogy or the Yakuza Series.

Whatever game is chosen, players should always make sure their device has the storage capacity and operating system to adequately play through the game for the best experience.
