PUBG Mobile is undoubtedly among the most famous battle royale titles on the mobile platform worldwide. It also has a vast player base player in India, and their experiences over the last few months haven’t been great.

The game was suspended alongside 117 other apps and games by the Ministry of Electronics and Information technology in September. Since then, there were several reports, some positive and a few negative, about PUBG Mobile’s return.

But after recent events, it appears their wait, which seemed set for an eternity, would end soon, and the game will make a comeback soon.

A website exclusive for PUBG Mobile India was set up. It features only the social media posts and links to the official handles. However, over the last few days, some users could access the news section, which displayed the APK download and Google Play Store options. However, they do not seem to be working for now.

When the players press the Google Play Store option, they are redirected to the PUBG Mobile India Facebook page. The APK download option/link redirects to the global version’s website.

It indicates that the webpage is under development and is probably being tested for the official release.
