Is PUBG Coming Back to India

PUBG Mobile India: When will it launch?

PUBG Mobile is arguably one of the most popular mobile games around the world and especially in India. And when it was banned in India, back in September there was a huge outcry from the public to unban it, but the Indian government did not budge. Now PUBG Corporation has announced that the game will be making a comeback to the country soon in a special Indian version, though it will depend on the Indian government granting it permission.

Here we will be taking a look at everything we know about PUBG Mobile’s India comeback, from how and why it was banned to what all changes will we see in PUBG Mobile India.

PUBG Mobile India: When will it launch?

PUBG Corporation has not announced an exact launch date for PUBG Mobile India. And the current speculation is that the game will be made available soon. However, there has been no confirmation from the government to allow the game in India.

According to an earlier report by the Times of India, the government remains unfazed on its decision of the ban “unless [the PUBG Corporation] addresses the concerns, it will be difficult to grant any relaxation [to the game].” According to our earlier report, the government is yet to take a look at the new version of the app.

PUBG Mobile India: Teaser video and website

PUBG Corporation recently uploaded multiple video teasers to hype up PUBG Mobile India. These videos feature prominent Indian PUBG Mobile influencers like Dynamo, Jonathan and more. It has also set up a dedicated site for the game. The site does not have a lot of information to offer at the moment. Instead, it just hosts a banner of coming soon and features links to the social media handles of the game

PUBG Mobile Lite: Will it also comeback?

The PUBG Corporation has announced that it is currently only bringing back PUBG Mobile to India. It has not mentioned anything about the Lite version of the game. It could be that the company first tests the water with its PUBG Mobile India game and then launches its PUBG Mobile India Lite game, with apt changes to it.

PUBG Mobile: Ban in other countries

Apart from India, PUBG Mobile is banned in multiple countries, including Tencent Games’ home country, China. Other countries that have banned the game include Jordan, Nepal, Israel and Iraq. In most of these countries, PUBG Mobile has found out a way to keep operating. For example, in China, the game has been heavily modified and been named as Game for Peace.
