For all the PUBG lovers, here's good news. With new servers and new publishers, PUBG Mobile games can soon be back in India. The game could be available by the end of 2020, as per the latest rumours. Those reports came after all the Indian servers were suspended by Tencent.
It has more than 50 million active Indian users per month. Due to the tensions between India and China, the game was unfortunately banned. Along with other Chinese apps, including TikTok, WeChat, CamScanner and more, both PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite were banned.
The PUBG Mobile team is expected to declare a relaunch in the Indian markets as part of Diwali wishes for the Indian audience. Diwali 2020, which is being celebrated on November 14, is said to be back in the league.
We also saw PUBG Corp. talking about distributing the game in the country with Airtel, Reliance Jio, and others. PUBG Corp. has also posted work recruitment on LinkedIn to hire the Business Development Division Manager.
Tencent games flipped the switch off on the PUBG Mobile Indian servers on October 30, according to sources. The company then handed over to Bluehole (Krafton Inc) the PUBG Mobile Indian IP Rights. If you don't know, Bluehole is a South Korean business behind the birth of the Battlegrounds of Player Unknown.
But now, as soon as the game returns to India, there's good news for all PUBG gamers.
