The hypercasual game genre attained the highest download figures among mobile games in the Indian market in 2022, accounting for 25% of total downloads. The number of hypercasual products in the top 100 download charts in India grew year-on-year, from 8% in 2018 to 33% in 2022. Despite this growth, the primary hurdle faced by hypercasual games remains the retention of players, as these games experience significantly greater player churn in comparison to other genres. While the average D7 retention for mobile games rests at approximately 20%, this rate frequently plunges below 10% for hypercasual games. This issue takes on added significance due to the rising Cost per Install (CPI), necessitating a focus on augmenting user retention to enhance Lifetime Value (LTV).WinZO identified this issue early in their journey and worked on creating unique and innovative gaming formats to improve user engagement. In this session, Saumya Singh Rathore, Co-Founder of WinZO Games, talks about the team's learnings while developing multiplayer formats, discussing their impact on user retention and monetization outcomes on WinZO platform. Through the integration of these multiplayer formats, WinZO introduced an element of competition into single-player casual games, creating a sense of achievement among users.
