In a survey of online gaming in Indonesia conducted in April 2022, 63 percent of respondents stated that they played online games. Many Indonesian online gamers valued the ease of access to such games, and this was predicted to remain as their main preference in the years to come.
The preferences of Indonesian gamers
Convenience and accessibility are some of the key factors when it comes to online gaming. As mobile devices and mobile internet data are getting more affordable, most gamers in Indonesia preferred mobile phones as their favorite device to play games online. Besides, games that implemented a free-to-play payment structure has also been cited as the most frequently played online games, since they completely remove the barrier of entry for prospective gamers.
The future of online gaming
With the growing number of smartphone users, online mobile gaming may continue to dominate the Indonesian gaming market. The relatively high prices for PC components, as well as the lack of next-generation console availability, may further strengthen the popularity of online mobile gaming in the country. Meanwhile, other alternatives such as live streaming game services without consoles may take time to gain a strong foothold in Indonesia, as the costs are a barrier for many gamers from subscribing to the service.
