After 145 days of the official announcement, fans still wait for the official release date of PUBG Mobile India

In early September, PUBG Mobile fans in India were struck by an avalanche of bad news after the MeitY imposed a ban on 118 applications, including PUBG Mobile and its streamlined variant, PUBG Mobile Lite. Over time, fans and players have been longing for the return of the battle royale title.

In November, the announcement of the region-specific Indian version brought back the hopes of several players in the country. Post that, many teasers featuring Dynamo, Jonathan, and Kronten were released on the official social media handles of PUBG Mobile India. Also, a new website was set up.
