India's mobile app market reached a record $345 million in in-app purchase revenue in Q2 2026, driven largely by non-gaming apps such as AI services, entertainment, and digital platforms. Meanwhile, major technology companies like Samsung, Apple, Meta, and Netflix are expanding their gaming offerings across devices including smartphones, TVs, PCs, and VR headsets. These moves reflect a broader industry trend to integrate gaming into diverse hardware and services to enhance user engagement and ecosystem value.
