OpenSignal, an analytics based firm, has recently released a report regarding the network experience in 48 Indian cities, and by its extension, the company also measures the cities with their Gaming Experience metric. The list used popular video game titles in the Battle Royale and MOBA genres, including Call of Duty, PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds, and Clash Royale for the rankings. In the rankings, it was found that two state, namely Gujarat and Maharashtra, dominated the entire mobile gaming experience in the country.

Looking at the scores, Ahmadabad topped the list with a score of 71.7, which is closely followed by Navi Mumbai with a score of 70.1. Similarly, Vadodara and Surat arrive third and fourth with 69.8 and 68 points respectively, while Bhopal rounds the top 5 rankings with a score of 67.8. The focus of this report was also to showcase that the accessibility of affordable smartphones paired with improved network coverage has also led to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities as mentioned above to rise in the rankings.

This is reflected by the fact that Tier 1 cities like Delhi arrive lower in the list. Furthermore, only four out of the eight Tier 1 cities were within the top 20, which included Chennai and Hyderabad, which scored 63.6 and 63.1 points respectively. Meanwhile, other Tier 1 cities like Pune (61.5), Bangalore (61.3), Delhi (59.8), and Kolkata (57.2) placed further down the list in the lower half of the charts.
