PUBG Mobile Removed From App Store, Google Play in India

 

PUBG is no longer available on Google Play and App Store, days after it was banned alongside 117 Chinese-origin apps. At the time of writing, the game — be it PUBG Mobile or PUBG Mobile Lite — continue to work for those who already have it downloaded. Gadgets 360 has reached out to Tencent for comment on how long it will continue to function, and we will update if we hear back.

Earlier on Friday, Tencent said it would engage with the government to get PUBG back on mobile platforms. India is one of the biggest markets for PUBG, with over 50 million daily active users reportedly, though the revenue share is much smaller. PUBG had taken on even more significance as India went under lockdown due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, with the game one of the only ways for friends to actively social with each other.
