There are close to 50 million active PUBG
mobile players in India.
With about 13 million users logging in daily..
The game was downloaded almost 200 million
times in India and is the top grossing title
of all time in the country.
Or at least it was until today.
PUBG MOBILE, was among 118 Chinese apps blocked
by India’s government today.
This ban is as big as the Tik Tok one in June,
if not bigger.
The ban on Tik Tok affects the user’s device
ID, meaning simply using VPN by itself won’t
let you bypass this ban.
You will also have to buy a new phone.
India's government cited national security
issues as the reason for the ban, so the move
is a political one.
And although the PUBG IP is a Korean, the
mobile version is developed and published
by Tencent, a Chinese games and tech company.
Rules of Survival is also on the ban list,
making Garena Free Fire poised to take the
#1 position.
