Hey There,
India on Wednesday announced a ban on additional 118 Chinese apps, including PUBG Mobile. For now the details are scarce but we do know why the apps have been banned and some educated guess can be made as to what happens next.
Chinese connection??
India has banned the PUBG Mobile because of its Chinese connection and because India and China are currently in middle of border dispute China is trying to encroach on Indian territory in Ladakh India is hitting back by banning use of Chinese apps in the country. Earlier government had banned a number of apps, including TikTok. Now, there are additional 118 apps banned, including PUBG. Indian government said, “Using the sovereign powers, the Government of India has decided to block the usage of certain Apps, used in both mobile and non-mobile Internet enabled devices. These apps are listed in the attached appendix. This move will safeguard the interests of crores of Indian mobile and internet users. This decision is a targeted move to ensure safety, security and sovereignty of Indian cyberspace.”

Can i still able to play it?
When we talk of PUBG, we miss that there are two PUBG apps. Originally the game was made for computers by a South Korean company. This game remains available in India. But it can run only on desktop computers and laptops. The PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite are the games made Tencent, a Chinese company, under licence from the Korean company. These two apps have been banned.
