In 2025, video game inspired travel for Gen Z India is turning fantasy into reality. Travel isn’t just about beaches and sightseeing anymore — it’s about living the game. For Gen Z in India, video games are more than entertainment. They’re now a travel moodboard, helping young explorers decide where to go next.
From the neon-lit streets of Cyberpunk 2077 to the scenic Japanese shrines in Ghost of Tsushima, games are inspiring real-life travel goals. Instead of Googling “top destinations,” many young Indians are booking trips to places they first explored through a controller.


Spotted on Instagram? Game-inspired travel fits right into the aesthetics Gen Z loves. Whether it’s cosplaying in Tokyo, recreating Forza Horizon road trips in the UK, or hunting photo ops in historic Italy thanks to Assassin’s Creed, gamers are turning pixels into passport stamps.

Travel companies are catching on. In 2025, expect game-themed tours, Airbnbs styled like fantasy inns, and even VR preview experiences before you fly. And yes, curated playlists and in-game soundtracks often set the mood.
What used to be called escapism is now seen as exploration. For India’s Gen Z, video games don’t just take you away — they help you decide where to go next.
