PUBG Mobile India is setting the gaming market in India on fire by releasing trailers of a comeback after being banned for a couple of months. On Friday, the APK version of PUBG Mobile India was available on the official website for a couple of hours for downloading but it did not work. There was also an APK version released for some Android users on Friday. There is a fever pitch building up for PUBG Mobile India game as many gamers wait with bated breath. However, the main question amidst all this that has gotten unanswered is when will PUBG Mobile India official be launched in India?
The answer might disappoint plenty of gamers. In all these developments, the official PUBG Corporation has not released a statement. According to a report by Inside Sport, PUBG Mobile game will not be launched in India until and unless the Central Government gives permission. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology that had announced a ban on PUBG and 116 other Chinese apps in September is yet to officially give any relaxation to PUBG.
In order to address the concerns, KRAFTON has tied up with Microsoft Azure to ensure that there is no theft of personal data and there is no breach of security. With the elimination of Tencent, a Chinese entity for PUBG Mobile in India, the presence of any Chinese entity is nil.
Government permission must
The Inside Sport report quoted an unnamed expert who said until or unless the government does not give any relaxation to the game, it can’t make a comeback in India. All these attempts, announcements by PUBG Corp are purely to pacify the government and excite the market.
In all of PUBG’s reported announcements in the Indian market, there has no specific timeline. There was a creative on PUBG’s Instagram page which came out in Diwali stating that the game was coming soon. But, all these steps are just an attempt to keep the market and the legion of gamers in India on their toes. The reality is neither PUBG Corporation has given an official statement and neither has the Central Government given any permission for the game to be launched in the country.
The waiting game is all set to continue now in the coming weeks.
