The ban imposed on PUBG Mobile created a void in the Indian mobile gaming community, as it was one of the most played titles on the platform. The BR title had a great competitive scene and had garnered huge numbers.
PUBG Mobile was among the 118 apps that were banned by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology under Section 69A. Ever since the game was banned, the fans and players hoped for the game's return in the country.
