PUBG Mobile: Most Watched Esports Game in August, But Remains Banned in India

Following an order by the Indian government to ban 118 Chinese apps in the country, PUBG Mobile was pulled down from prominent app stores. While the Indian gaming community hasn’t taken this well, PUBG Corp finally stepped in with an official statement, giving hope to its fans. The original internal gaming brand under Bluehole Studios came out with an official statement suggesting that it will take all publishing responsibilities and will no longer have an association with Tencent specifically in India.

According to a report PUBG Corp is now said to be looking for an Indian gaming firm so it can restore the popular game in the country. Sources related to the matter suggest that only a licensing agreement will be formed and PUBG Corp will retain the publishing rights for the game. The Indian partner will most likely handle the distribution. Having said that, there is no official confirmation from PUBG Corp or PUBG Mobile India as of yet. As of now the game remains banned and downloading it via official and unofficial means is illegal in the country.
