Apex Legends Mobile launch is a very significant step towards tapping the Indian gaming ecosystem as mobile titles are big in India as they facilitate easier connectivity and accessibility for users and leverage the power of the mobile-first ecosystem of the country. With more than 100 million players already playing this battle royale game globally, the publisher needs to aggressively tap the Indian esports industry by hosting multiple tournaments and get it accessible easily for the third party tournament organisers which will fuel the game’s popularity in the region.
