PUBG Corp, Reliance Jio in talks to bring back PUBG Mobile to India: Report

PUBG Corporation is in talks with Reliance Jio to bring back the battle royale game to India, a report in Hindu Business Line said. Citing an internal source, the report states that the talks are currently in early stages and officials from both the companies are working out the details as to how a deal might be structured.

The Indian government earlier this month banned PUBG Mobile in the country under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act. The government stated that the app is engaged in activities that are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity, defence and security of the country. Since then, the prime developer of the game, PUBG Corporation, has announced that it has revoked distribution rights for the game in India from Tencent and will be publishing it on its own in the country.
