On May 19, KRAFTON announced that the Indian version of PUBG Mobile will soon be available again in India. As it turned out, there were some nuances.

The Indian authorities have allowed KRAFTON to re—launch Battlegrounds Mobile India, the Indian version of PUBG Mobile, in the country. The game has been banned for almost a year.

The letter of demand was signed by the heads of Outlier Games, Roach Interactive, Uniplay Digital and seven other companies. The reason was the recent ban of the Indian version of PUBG Mobile — Battlegrounds Mobile India.

Reuters sources in the Indian government explained why the country decided to block B attlegrounds Mobile India. According to their information, officials considered that the game illegally transfers gamers’ data to China. Earlier, for this reason, the Indian authorities banned over 300 applications.

Krafton is facing another ban in India. Yesterday, her game Battlegrounds Mobile India — the Indian version of PUBG Mobile — was removed from the local Google Play and Apple Store.

Krafton managed to release a new version of PUBG Mobile in India almost a year after it was blocked. The project is now called Battlegrounds Mobile India. Tens of millions of local users are already playing it.Statistics were shared on July 12 by Anuj Tandon, Head of Investment and Corporate Development at Krafton in India and MENA countries.

Indian gamers can download PUBG Mobile again nine months after the ban. The game became available on Android under the new name Battlegrounds Mobile India, and its content was censored. At the same time, the return turned out to be successful — in just two weeks, the project collected over 20 million pre-registrations on Google Play.Battlegrounds Mobile India is now available for download on Google Play for all Indian users.

The Indian version of PUBG Mobile does not even have a release date yet, and local politicians are again calling for the game to be banned. The reason is the close connection of developers with Tencent and the threat to the security of India.
