Top-Rated PS4 Games at Discounted Prices During Amazon's Freedom Sale
In 2021, India emerged as one of the top five global mobile gaming markets, with a significant rise in the number of gamers and mobile game downloads [1]. This trend shaped the Indian gaming landscape, with mobile games dominating the market.
Many popular mobile and online games in India are free-to-play with in-app purchases, making them an affordable option for a broad segment of players [1]. Among the top mobile games in 2021 were PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, and Call of Duty Mobile [2].
However, when it comes to console and PC games, the market remained niche and comparatively more expensive. Some of the discounted console and PC games available in 2021 included Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, priced at ₹1,699 (originally ₹1,999); God of War, priced at ₹998 (originally ₹1,449); Far Cry 5, priced at ₹1,299 (originally ₹1,799); Assassin's Creed Origins, priced at ₹1,199 (originally ₹1,499); and Days Gone, priced at ₹1,525 (originally ₹3,999) [3].
In contrast, the Indian video game development sector was still in its nascent stages compared to other Asian countries like Japan or South Korea [1].
Here's a breakdown of the popular titles, price models, approximate price ranges, and ratings for various game types in India in 2021:
| Game Type | Popular Titles (2021) | Price Model | Approximate Price Range (INR) | Ratings (General) | |--------------------|------------------------------|-------------------------------|-------------------------------|---------------------------| | Mobile Battle Royale| PUBG Mobile, Free Fire, COD Mobile | Free to play + in-app purchases| Free download; In-app spends vary from ₹50 to ₹10,000+ | Popular: 4-4.5/5 on app stores | | PC/Console | Call of Duty (series), FIFA, GTA V (imported/digital) | Premium purchase | ₹2,000 to ₹5,000 on digital platforms | Highly rated globally: 8-9/10 Metacritic | | Indie/local titles | Limited availability | Usually premium or free | ₹300 to ₹1,500 | Varied, depends on titles |
It's worth noting that specific Indian-market comparative prices and ratings for 2021's best-selling games are not readily available. The Indian gaming market was largely driven by free-to-play mobile games, making direct price comparisons challenging.
For more detailed information on exact sales ranks, prices, and user reviews specific to India in 2021, third-party Indian gaming platforms or local digital stores' archives may provide historical data. The Indian gaming ecosystem has continued to evolve rapidly, with increased presence of global studios and growing interest in PC and console gaming.
