The number of females playing video games in Asia is growing at a faster rate than their male rivals.

According to a latest research, women are levelling the playing field across all of Asia's key markets including China, India and Japan.

The female video gaming community grew by 19% last year, according to data commissioned by Google.

Asia is regarded as the global capital of video games, accounting for 48% of the world's total gaming revenue.

There are a number of factors that are contributing to this rise, with storylines becoming more inclusive and connectivity improving across the region.
