On August 1, 2024, in Mumbai, gaming creators from 8Bit Creatives Mortal, Payal, and Kaashvi made history by debuting on the YouTube Fan Fest (YTFF) stage, marking the first time gaming has been represented at this prestigious event.
Their presence was met with overwhelming enthusiasm from fans, who eagerly joined meet-and-greet sessions and participated in interactive games. This momentous occasion highlighted the growing influence of gaming in the digital landscape and provided a rewarding experience for all.
8Bit Creatives expressed their deep gratitude to YouTube for the opportunity, celebrating the milestone of having their gamers recognized at such a high-profile event.
In a parallel, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his Independence Day speech at Red Fort, emphasized the vast potential of India’s gaming sector. He acknowledged the rapid growth of gaming in the country while pointing out the need to shift from being consumers to producers in the global market.
India’s gaming industry has seen exponential growth, especially in the mobile gaming sector, with nearly 500 million gamers positioning the country to become the world’s largest mobile gaming market. The Indian government’s active promotion of esports and support for game developers through policies, funding, and infrastructure are crucial steps toward building a sustainable ecosystem capable of thriving on the global stage.
