PUBG Mobile India: Top 3 features that fans are looking forward to

The Indian PUBG Mobile community was left completely stunned in September last year as a ban was imposed on their beloved battle royale title.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology banned the game, alongside 117 other applications, citing data and security concerns.

The press release from the ministry stated:

“In the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, defense of India and security of the State. And using the sovereign powers, the Government of India has decided to block the usage of certain Apps, used in both mobile and non-mobile Internet-enabled devices.”

Since the ban was announced, Indian players have been eagerly waiting for the revival of PUBG Mobile in the country.

Fortunately for them, Krafton Inc announced a region-specific version of the game called PUBG Mobile India in November last year. An official website as well as teasers featuring Dynamo, Jonathan and Kronten were later released.

This article takes a look at the three PUBG Mobile India features that fans are eagerly waiting for.
