News18 reported that the Ludo King app has seen a five-fold increase in traffic, has more than 330 million downloads, with about 50 million daily active users.

The larger perception tells that the nostalgic value Ludo carries and the boring time people had been having were the reasons for the Ludo King rage. The game when created was one of its kinds to be played online with family and friends and even strangers. Initially it was contemplated that the gaming industry would be affected to some extent along with business and commerce in the global lockdowns.
