M-League, India’s Premier Platform Company for Gaming, and the parent company of Mobile Premiere League, today announced the launch of Blast+, a dedicated Free-to-Play publishing arm. Blast+ will help both global and indie game developers publish and scale their games in India, the fastest-growing mobile gaming market in the world.
“We believe that Free to Play (F2P) represents the next big opportunity for gaming in India,” said Sai Srinivas, Co-Founder of M-League, “The F2P market in India is on the same level that skill gaming was in 2018 when we started MPL. We are already seeing some green shoots, with an uptick in In-App Purchases (IAP) and willingness to try new titles. We’re confident that Blast+ can unlock substantial revenue potential for F2P games and attract a new gaming audience in India.”
M-League’s F2P publishing foray follows its success with GameDuell in Europe. When M-League acquired GameDuell in 2022, it was primarily a web-based skill gaming company. M-League invested in transforming GameDuell into a cross-platform experience spanning web and mobile, with a strong focus on Free-to-Play. Today, 70% of its revenue is generated from F2P games.
Blast+ aims to bring new games from global and indie gaming studios to India, focusing on localization, marketing, live operations, payment solutions, data analytics, and robust customer service. The company has put together a powerhouse team of industry veterans from EA, Activision Blizzard, Riot Games, Wargaming, and Scopely, bringing exceptional expertise in game publishing and player engagement.

The Indian market is also seeing notable growth in In-App Purchase spend across the industry, with the average revenue per paying user (ARPPU) reaching $19.2 in FY23, growing nearly 10x since FY19.
