PUBG Corporation has announced that\u00a0it has ended its partnership with Tencent Games to publish and distribute\u00a0PUBG Mobile<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0in India. This move comes in the aftermath of the Indian government banning\u00a0P<\/em>UBG Mobile<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0The mobile version of the popular battle royale game\u00a0PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds<\/em> was one of 118 Chinese apps that the Indian government banned, citing national security concerns. The game was pulled from Apple and Google’s respective app stores in compliance with the order. Geopolitical tensions between China and India are high due to an ongoing\u00a0military standoff between the two countries at the Sino-Indian border and are continuing to escalate after reports of shots being fired in the area.<\/p>\n

In the same statement, PUBG Corporation also announced that it will\u00a0“take on all publishing responsibilities within [India]” for\u00a0PUBG Mobile<\/em><\/a>. The South Korean company will be working with the Indian government to find a way that will allow the\u00a0game back into the market while\u00a0complying with local laws and regulations. PUBG Corporation and its parent company Krafton did not comment on their relationship with Tencent Games in other regions.<\/p>\n

PUBG Mobile<\/em> has considerable presence in India as the most popular mobile game in the country; the mobile battle royale has over 40 million active users and 175 million downloads<\/a> in the country, which accounts for about a quarter of the game’s global downloads. This move by\u00a0PUBG Corporation has been made to ensure that its highly successful product can\u00a0be reinstated in a major commercial region. But it remains to be seen whether or not this will result in the game returning to the Indian market.<\/p>\n

PUBG Mobile<\/em> is not the only noteworthy Chinese app banned by the Indian government. Video-sharing app TikTok was also banned<\/a>\u00a0for the same reasons of national security concerns. With there being no end in sight to the border skirmishes between China and India, the future\u00a0for these banned apps\u00a0remains in jeopardy. Though\u00a0PUBG Mobile<\/em>\u00a0could lean on its South Korean origins to re-enter the market, other apps may not be as lucky.<\/p>\n

However, this approach may not work as\u00a0PUBG Mobile\u00a0<\/em>is developed by Tencent Games. While the South Korean PUBG Corporation can claim publishing responsibilities and intellectual property ownership, the game was ultimately developed by a Chinese company and therefore can still run afoul of Indian data laws. Time will tell whether PUBG Mobile<\/em>\u00a0will return to India or if it will be banned like cheaters in the game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PUBG Mobile\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>is available now for Android and iOS.<\/p>\n
