The Future of VR Gaming in India
June 15, 2023 | Rajesh Singh
Virtual reality is poised for explosive growth in India, driven by affordable hardware and increasing internet penetration. At Manipur Game Dev, we are investing heavily in VR development, focusing on localized content that resonates with Indian audiences. Our research indicates that immersive storytelling and educational applications will lead adoption.
We recently conducted a survey across major cities, revealing that 40% of gamers are interested in VR experiences. However, challenges remain, such as motion sickness and high costs. Our team is working on solutions like optimized rendering and subscription models to make VR more accessible.
Looking ahead, we predict that by 2026, India will have over 10 million active VR users. Our upcoming project, "Himalayan Odyssey," aims to showcase India's cultural heritage through VR, allowing players to explore historical sites in stunning detail.

With millions of users on budget smartphones, optimizing games for low-end devices is crucial for success in markets like India. Our engineers have developed techniques to reduce memory usage and improve frame rates without compromising visual quality.
Key strategies include texture compression, level-of-detail adjustments, and efficient code practices. We also leverage cloud gaming solutions to offload processing, enabling complex games on simpler hardware.
In our latest title, "Puzzle Mania," we achieved 60 FPS on devices with as little as 2GB RAM. This involved custom shaders and adaptive resolution scaling. We share these insights through open-source tools and community contributions.
