For Indian gamers, premium gaming has always come with a painful asterisk. The hardware costs too much, the downloads take too long, and storage fills up too fast. OnMobile Global's ONMO+ Smart Console, which launched exclusively on Flipkart on June 26, 2026, tackles all three problems at once — and does so at a price point that makes the proposition genuinely compelling.

What's in the Box
The ONMO+ offering bundles a Smart Console, a Pro Controller, and an access card into a single ready-to-play package, enabling gaming on smart TVs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. Everything needed to get started ships together — there's no separate controller to source or activation process to navigate separately.
The platform is powered by cloud-based gaming GPUs, so players get console-quality performance without investing in expensive local hardware. Setup takes under 60 seconds: sign in, pick a game, and start playing — no downloads, no installations, no storage limits.

ONMO+ streams over 200 titles in up to 4K at 60fps. The included Essential Pass covers games across action, racing, sports, adventure, strategy, puzzle, multiplayer, and family-friendly genres at no extra cost. Players who already own games on Steam can also link their library and play compatible titles through the Smart Console, without needing a high-end PC.
The Pro Controller is built for extended sessions. It delivers up to 21 hours of battery life and supports tri-mode connectivity via Bluetooth and wireless reception — practical specs that matter when gaming sessions routinely run late into the night.
Pricing and Availability
The ONMO+ Smart Console starts at ₹4,999 for a three-month subscription and went live on Flipkart on June 26, 2026. That's roughly ₹1,666 per month for access to a 200+ game library, streamed at up to 4K — a fraction of what a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X costs before a single game is purchased.
Why This Matters for India
India's gaming market now counts over 500 million active players across mobile, TV, and PC platforms. The vast majority of them game on smartphones because traditional console hardware has never been priced for the Indian mainstream. ONMO+ changes the entry point dramatically — any screen a player already owns becomes the hardware.
By positioning ONMO+ as a plug-and-play multi-device solution, OnMobile is aiming to democratize high-end gaming in India and leverage Flipkart's nationwide distribution for maximum reach. The Flipkart partnership, formalized in April 2026, gives ONMO+ immediate visibility to hundreds of millions of Indian shoppers through one of the country's two dominant e-commerce platforms.
The Company Behind It
OnMobile Global has spent 25 years serving over 125 telecom operators across 69 countries, reaching a subscriber base of more than two billion users. Its gaming evolution began with casual platforms like Challenges Arena and the social gaming platform ONMO, before culminating in The Gaming Platform — which brings casual games, cloud titles, entertainment, and eSports together in one ecosystem.
The ONMO+ Smart Console is the company's first direct-to-consumer hardware product — a significant step that bets its telecom-era infrastructure and relationships can power a fundamentally different kind of gaming business.
The Bottom Line
ONMO+ isn't trying to compete with PlayStation or Xbox on exclusives or brand prestige. It's making a more practical argument: that the best gaming setup for most Indian players is the screen already sitting in their living room, connected to a controller and a cloud powerful enough to run the games they actually want to play. At ₹4,999 for three months, that argument is hard to dismiss.
