It doesn't come as too much of a surprise considering the spree of Chinese apps being banned in the country. Rumours were already afloat that PUBG might soon be banned, and it looks like it has finally happened.
PUBG Mobile is one of the most popular Battle Royale games in the world, especially in our country, with the most downloads in the world. It has also become a source of revenue for several Indian gamers who stream the game online and have ammassed a large following and YouTube fame, with the likes of sc0utOP even collaborating with DrDisrespect.
It looks like Indian gamers looking for their PUBG Fix will have to find other alternatives.
