For thousands of young Indians who see gaming as more than just a pastime, Good Game has arrived with a promise of opportunity. The world’s first as-live global gaming reality show has launched in India to find the country’s first Global Gaming Superstar, offering a ₹1 crore prize and a chance to represent India on a global stage. Actor and entrepreneur Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been named global brand ambassador, joining cricketer Rishabh Pant and popular gaming creator Ujjwal Chaurasia.
Beyond the headline numbers, the show reflects how careers and aspirations are changing among India’s youth. Good Game plans to invest up to ₹100 crore annually and is inviting brand partners and sponsors to associate with the platform, which is expected to reach at least 500 million young viewers. The format blends esports with entertainment, testing contestants on gaming skills, creativity, on-screen presence and the ability to perform under pressure.
Founder Rai Cockfield said the platform aims to empower talent from across India, while Samantha Ruth Prabhu described the show as an opportunity to redefine success for the next generation. Registrations for auditions are open to Indian citizens above 18, with in-person auditions scheduled in Mumbai and Delhi in February and March 2026.
