For sure, the PUBG Mobile is hitting the Indian market and it will be available for Android phones. And it is coming sooner than most people had expected.
As per a tweet shared by a PUBG Mobile India fan club, the game will be available for download in ‘few hours’ on the Google Play Store and as an APK download separately for Android devices.
“Countdown begins. Few hours to go!,” the tweet from PUBG Mobile India fan club account reads.
However, there is no official statement on the release date of the mobile game. Amid the long wait of millions of mobile gamers, it is still not clear if the game would be available to download later today.
Notably, it was a few days back notified about the official return of PUBG Mobile in India in a new avatar called PUBG Mobile India, however, the time has stood still for PUBG fans since.
Moreover, it is also not clear whether the game will be rolled out for iPhone gamers. If the game is released soon, then it will be a good news for those who had been waiting for this for long time now.
Ahead of its launch, PUBG Mobile India was reportedly proved to be highly popular, according to pre-registration numbers revealed earlier. As per updates from game sharing community TapTap, PUBG Mobile India registered 200,000 pre-registrations, much more than the pre-registration numbers of FAU-G, the Indian alternative of PUBG.
Earlier, the PUBG Corporation said it has plans to make investments worth $100 million in India to cultivate the local video game, esports, entertainment, and IT industries.
The immensely popular PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) Mobile app was among the 118 Chinese apps that the Indian government banned in September over national security concerns.
To get the ban lifted, PUBG Corp made the decision to no longer authorise the PUBG Mobile franchise to China-based Tencent Games in India.
