PUBG Mobile set to make a comeback in India

Just a few months ago, the Indian government, citing security concerns blocked access to the popular game PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG) Mobile along with several other apps in the country. Also, the battle royale game in the subcontinent was controlled by the China-based Tencent Games and also didn’t have a local data center to store player user-data.

The announcement of the apps ban came in the backdrop of the border tension with the People’s Liberation Army of China in eastern Ladakh.

Within weeks, Krafton Inc, the parent company of the PUBG Corporation severed ties with Tencent Games. Later, in early November, it signed a major deal with Microsoft Azure to host the former’s multiplatform products–including all versions of PUBG for PC, consoles, and mobiles.
