It’s challenging to assign a single game the title of best in India, as it depends on one’s interests: casual, competitive, e-sports, or social gaming—online games to play with friends. But in terms of popularity, cultural relevance, and engagement, Ludo still leads the way. It is the most downloaded digital version of the classic board game. It’s simple rules offer an old-fashioned charm, and the multiplayer mode supports up to 6 players online or offline. It is accessible, supports cross-platform play, and is popular across all age groups in India due to its cultural roots.
If you are inclined towards action-packed games, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) is a huge hit, especially among competitive gamers. This is the Indian version of the game, designed with local content, a great battle royale mode, and a huge esports fan base. It is one of the most downloaded games, and streamers like Mortal and Dynamo are adding to its popularity. For card game fans, Teen Patti (Indian Poker) is a top contender, a mix of skill and social entertainment, played on platforms where you can even win real cash.
