| PUBG Mobile returns to India with a new game |
PUBG Corporation has announced plans to launch a new PUBG Mobile game in India, which was previously banned in India in September due to its collaboration with Chinese company Tencent.
When the ban was imposed, the game was the most downloaded game in India with 50 million users.
The South Korean developer said: It intends to create a new Indian subsidiary to oversee a new game called PUBG Mobile India, which can also improve data security and meet local preferences.
The company has pledged to invest $ 100 million in the games, sports, entertainment and information technology industries in India, although the game's launch date has not been specified. .
The news is a major concern of India's digital ecosystem, suggesting that apps and games banned in the country may be on the decline for security reasons.
In addition to PUBG Mobile, developed by the Chinese tech giant Tencent, India also bans TikTok, WeChat, and other Chinese apps.
The Government of India has cited complaints about such apps related to the theft of user data and its unauthorized transfer to servers outside India.
By severing ties with Tencent and localizing PUBG Mobile development and data storage, PUBG Corporation may be able to appease India's digital regulator.
Since the mobile version of PUBG was the highest-grossing game in India during the closing period, it will greatly increase the company's sales.
Earlier this month, it was announced that PUBG Mobile will host the Microsoft Azure cloud.
PUBG Corporation has stated that the newly released game has some elements, especially for Indian players.
This includes dressing up full-fledged characters, changing outfits in bloody red and green, and setting the game up for play on a virtual training ground instead of in real life.
The company said there are also restrictions on how long players can use the game to encourage healthy playing habits among young players.
