Despite India ban, PUBG Mobile emerges as the sixth most downloaded game in the country in 2020

PUBG Mobile might've been banned earlier in the year, but it's still making its way into India's top-10 lists.

Mobile Gaming is one of the fastest-growing markets in India. The reason for the exponential growth of Mobile Gaming in India is the 4G revolution and the "Make in India" initiative.

In 2016, with the launch of the 4G internet, the country saw a steep decline in data prices with a higher cap. The smartphone market also benefited from tax rebates due to the Make in India initiative. App analytics firm App Annie has now published its report of the top mobile games of 2020 in India.
