Pubg Mobile Game Ban In India Or Not ????

PUBG Mobile Ban in India: Is the Government Going to Ban India’s Most Popular Game ?

The latest development comes just after the government reportedly banned 47 Chinese apps on Monday. That move was a follow-up of the earlier ban under which 59 Chinese apps were banned in favour of protecting “national interest and security” under the provisions of Section 69A of the Information Technology Act.

Although the government didn't provide the list of apps it had banned under the new decision, it is said to be considering prohibiting PUBG Mobile among some other China-backed apps and games, including AliExpress, Ludo World, Resso, ULIke, and Zili. Other developers such as LBE Tech, Meitu, NetEase, Sina Corp, and Yoozoo Global.

PUBG Mobile is a renowned name when it comes to mobile games in India. Developed by China's Tencent Games-owned LightSpeed and Quantum Studio, the battle royale game has received 17.5 crore installs from India that is 24 percent of the total installs worldwide, according to a report by Sensor Tower. It even garnered more installs than what it received from China, which has 16.7 percent share in its total installs.

Apart from installs, there are many Indian gamers who actively stream PUBG Mobile through their channels on Twitch and YouTube. Niko Partners Senior Analyst Daniel Ahmad tweeted that while the game has a large base in India it doesn't generate revenue at the same scale making around $2-3 million (roughly Rs. 15-22 crores) on a monthly basis.
