PUBG Mobile India launch update

In June, the ministry of electronics and information technology (IT) banned 59 apps, that was followed by the banning of another 118 mobile apps, including Tencent`s popular videogame PUBG, in September. The 118 apps continue to be banned and no decision has been reached on them as yet, hinting that PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite will not be available in India anytime soon, the Zee Media Bureau reported.

After the PUBG Mobile game ban, there have been plenty of rumors about the game making a comeback and targeting a re-launch on March 2021. However, it looks like the PUBG Mobile might not arrive in India anytime soon.

According to the news agency PTI, Government has stated that the ban on TikTok and all other hundreds of banned Chinese apps or those with links to them, will continue to remain in force in the near future.

The report clearly said that the banned Chinese apps including PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite will not be available in India anytime soon.
