Besides, there might be cash prizes for special categories such as player with maximum foot travel distance, player with maximum number of head shots etc. Even though there is no official word on the prize money from the company, a press conference on the same is expected soon. 

For those unaware, PUBG Corporation has opened its pre-registration process for select Android and iOS users on the Tap game sharing community. Prior to that, the APK link to download the game briefly appeared for some users. Several PUBG players had claimed the ‘Download’ option was visible on the website’s news section, though it was not working. 

There is no official word from PUBG corporation around the launch of the game but it is highly likely to arrive in 2020 itself. The game will not be launched in India unless the gaming company gets the permission from the Central government. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology that had banned PUBG is yet to officially permit the relaunch of PUBG in India.  

PUBG Mobile India is being created specifically for the Indian market. The Indian subsidiary will hire over 100 employees specialising in business, esports, and game development, PUBG Corp said. The company also revealed plans to provide a secure and healthy gameplay environment alongside investments to cultivate local video game, esports, entertainment, and IT industries.
