How Console Gaming Industry is growing Exponentially in India
In the last few years, gaming has become one of the fastest-growing industries in India. From the days of playing Tetris on the computer to implementing AI in GTA5, the gaming industry has always been at the forefront of innovation and progress. After the times of the PlayStation 2 and the PSP, consoles have waned in popularity year after year. Mobile gaming, however, has still brought gaming to the masses in droves. With the next generation of consoles around the corner, can they make some changes in this trend, buck it, and bring consoles back on everyone’s minds again?
Though the home console market in India is tiny compared to that of mature territories like the US and Europe, some developers like Sumo Digital want to use India as a major exporter of games and develop AAA titles almost exclusively for game consoles.
Working with digital giants like Apple and Microsoft, Sumo Digital is one of the world’s best game development studios headquartered in England and has expanded its base to India.
- Sumo Digital is a part of the Sumo Group and has over 1000 plus people across Europe, America, Canada, and India. Sumo Pune and Sumo Bengaluru will now be collaborating and co-developing on projects.
- Sumo Digital has grown to around 15 studios and expects to continually grow across art programming, design, QA, and production.
- They are working to acquire the right people, with the best talent to work on the AAA console titles being co-developed by Sumo Group of Studios worldwide.
