List of countries with special versions of PUBG Mobile

PUBG Mobile is probably one of the most played mobile games in the world. In March 2021, the game crossed 1 billion downloads across the globe. Even though the game is global, a few countries have their own versions of PUBG.

With Battlegrounds Mobile India, India received its very own version of PUBG Mobile. However, there are some other countries that already have specialized versions of PUBG Mobile.

Let's start the list with the most recent development - Battlegrounds Mobile India. In 2020, the Indian Government banned a number of Chinese apps including PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite, over data privacy issues.

After that, the South Korean developer, Krafton, created Battlegrounds Mobile India, the special Indian PUBG. BGMI rolled out early access earlier this month. Even though the gameplay is the same, some alterations have been made to better suit the Indian guidelines.

2) China

Even China has a special version of PUBG Mobile. Since the initial version of PUBG by Tencent was not approved by the Chinese Government (it was considered too violent), the developer changed it.

The game was rebranded 'Game for Peace' and then launched in the country. The newer version was in compliance with the government's guidelines.

3) Vietnam

Furthermore, the game has its own unique in-game currency. Interestingly, the Vietnamese version is quite popular and has over 10 million downloads.
