PUBG Corp in talks with Airtel to bring back PUBG Mobile to India: Report

It has been a little over a month since the Indian government banned the popular PUBG Mobile along with 116 apps in India. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) cited security concerns for the blocking of the application.

Soon after the ban, the parent firm PUBG Corp suspended China-based Tencent Games as the official licensee to operate the battle royal game in India. Now, the South Korea-based company was rumored to be in talks with Reliance Jio, but the latter has reportedly backtracked from further talks.

Now, PUBG Corp is said to be in negotiation with another cellular network service provider Airtel as a potential partner to operate the mobile game in India, reported Entrackr citing a reliable industry insider.
