Mobile eSports has become a thing in Pakistan. Massive tournaments are being held, offering players an opportunity to win rupees in the millions. Ask any key player in the Pakistani eSports scene, they’ll tell you – as mobile Internet usage escalates, so does the number of eSports players and followers. It’s a cycle, one that spins fast amidst the Digital Pakistan initiative.
Here’s an interesting nugget: 90% of the top 100 downloaded paid apps in 2024 for Pakistan were gaming apps. We’re talking action, adventure, arcade, casino – you name it! These gaming apps are on approximately 25 million devices across the country. Each of these apps cost $1 on average, and based on this, Pakistanis are coughing up over $25 million on mobile gaming apps.

Let’s dive into the data consumption during tournaments. Pakistan’s eSports scene is vibrant, and it’s coursing through every vein of mobile data usage.
A staggering 90% of the top 100 downloaded paid apps in 2020 were gaming apps. Action, adventure, arcade, casino, puzzle, racing, and strategy – all these genres have taken the country by storm, spreading across almost 25 million devices.
Just imagine, an average mobile game costs a dollar on the store. Now, multiply that by 25 million. That’s right, folks, we’re talking over $25 million spent merely on apps, exclusivity on gaming. And we’re not even considering, the in-app purchases, which usually cost more than the basic app price.
As of January 31, 2024, top mobile gaming apps in Pakistan include PUBG Mobile, Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, Hitman Sniper, COD Mobile, and Marvel Contest of Champions. All of these are not just popular; they form the epicenter of live-streamed eSports, being watched, loved, and cheered by audiences all over the globe.

Note though, that while being a dedicated eSports fan can feel like a full-blown job – and with the growth of eSports in Pakistan, who knows, maybe it could turn into one – it’s important to remember to disconnect and take care of your mental and physical health. After all, a healthy gamer is a strong gamer. And remember – it’s the thrill of the game. It’s the dedication of the players. It’s the community. This isn’t about merely wasting time in an imaginary world. It’s about passion, commitment, and a pinch of competition, all at the reach of your fingertips. Lingering within an internet package.
Engaging with the Community
A vibrant and engaged community is, without doubt, the heart and soul of any esports scene. This is especially true in Pakistan. The physicality might be lacking but the virtual stadiums grow noisy as fans cheer on their favorite teams. Living rooms transform into battlegrounds at the pop of a “Start” button.
Games like DOTA 2, CSGO, and PUBG Mobile have amassed large followings. These fans are not just players but loyal supporters circling their favorites in leagues and cups across the globe managed by the likes of entities like Nodwin Gaming Pvt Ltd.
Of course, this doesn’t mean everyone becomes an overnight esports enthusiast. I’ve seen kids, barely in their teens, logging hours on 4StarsGames to train, perfect their craft and maybe one day, rival the pros.
Fans turn the slow-growing esport into the massive markets we nowadays see worldwide. Kicking off with a single look at the stats from Newzoo seems to make this implication quite astonishing. In 2018, revenue made by esports professionals reached $865.1 million that in 2024 is predicted to almost double and peak at $1.79 billion. Now, if that is not bad enough for you, I’m afraid I cannot guess what else will be!
At the end of the day, esports is not merely about playing games, it’s a culture, a crowd, and an app hearth. Whether you are a newbie impressing your next doors or a master of the game, there is no doubt but that what attracts our attention and makes us keep coming back for more is the excitement of the game. Whether the move is made or not in this virtual checking board – coloured pieces will continue to get a shift, wont they? That is what excites me though, isn’t it?
The Future of Mobile Esports
On the one hand, it is clear that this is not just about being healthy but about optimizing one’s overall wellbeing and potential. Since Pakistan esports market is growing many players around the country, I’m optimistic as well. The excitement around these games like DOTA 2, CSGO, and PUBG is pretty clear – here we don’t talk about a simply the fad that would burn fast, but a this is the lifestyle choice that concerns many folks. A projection of annual growth in this sector of the market is $1.79 billion by 2024 and stands as a manifestation of the fact.
A great esports culture is not only about the games – it’s about the community that has been formed. It’s the thrill, it’s the teamwork, it’s the feeling of it – these are the things that make esports in Pakistan super interesting. It is a very exciting moment to be how involved both as a player, a fan, or a non-professional observer.
With the passion and the momentum thereof, we definitely can see bright perspectives of esports in Pakistan. On my part, I am all the more willing to see what our destiny lies.
