As an enthusiastic gamer and a fervent media consumer, I find it challenging to comprehend why a crucial streaming service like Disney Plus Hotstar is unavailable on our gaming consoles here in India. The situation is counter-intuitive, considering that these consoles also function as media boxes, and yet we are deprived of access to a prime service. It is not just about gaming anymore; these consoles have evolved to provide holistic entertainment, packing in gaming, streaming, and more, all in one device.

There is a steady demand for such services in India, given that we have a thriving user base of PlayStation and Xbox consoles. At the end of 2020, India had nearly 3.5 million online console gamers and this number is projected to grow to over 5.1 million by 2025 (Source: Statista). These statistics alone underscore the volume of potential Disney Plus Hotstar users available here.

In the spirit of fair access and to meet the evolving needs of Indian gamers, we demand that Disney Plus Hotstar is made available on gaming consoles, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X in India. We urge the responsible parties to intervene and rectify this omission. The academics of consumer trends clearly indicate the increasing demand for such a provision. We have the rights to the same level of entertainment as global gamers.
