However, India was not the only country where the hyper-casual genre was at the top of gaming Olympus. In Turkey, for example, the number of installations of this type of game was even higher, at around 35%. However, Turkey is one of the most popular gaming markets, moreover, a huge number of hyper-casual games start-ups are located in Turkey.

India, on the other hand, is more of a promising market which, as practice shows, could justifiably take its well-deserved leadership position in mobile gaming in the coming years, especially in the hyper-casual genre.
