As of now, there is no exact date provided by the company as to when the game will launch in the country. However, multiple reports state that PUBG Corp. is looking to launch the new version in March 2021.
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG for short) had got all hooked and had become an instant favourite. Since its early access on March 23 in 2017, people of every age group, at every place, be it home, office or even sports dressing room were seen playing PUBG.
The battle royale genre expanded immensely on the mobile platform and become a fan favourite. However, the game's journey hasn’t been smooth in certain countries.
With coming under authorities’ eyes for numerous reasons, the game has seen a ban being imposed on PUBG Mobile in many countries, especially South Asian countries.
The Indian Government had suspended a total of 220 applications of Chinese origin across three ban waves. These apps were axed on September 2 for security and privacy reasons by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology after the Galwan Valley tensions.
The press release stated: "The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has received many complaints from various sources, including several reports about the misuse of some mobile apps available on Android and iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India."
After a few months, PUBG Corporation announced PUBG Mobile India, which would be under the Indian belt and players were on cloud nine.
It appeared that the title would soon make a comeback and there have been positive updates on the same.
PUBG Corporation has announced that it will provide Indian players with “a secure and healthy gameplay environment inside of the game.” It will ensure that the privacy and security of all Indian players data is its top priority. Apart from that, the company will also be conducting “regular audits and verifications on the storage systems holding Indian users’ personally identifiable information to reinforce security and ensure that their data is safely managed.”
The company has already hired an India team that will be working in the country to expand the presence of the game. Krafton will invest a total of $100 million in India to set up an India base, and hold competitions for Indian gamers.
