PUBG India ban: Twitter community reacts with memes

PUBG Mobile is an immensely popular mobile battle royale game that has redefined the genre in its own way. With over 50 million downloads and 33 million daily users in India itself, PUBG Mobile is one of the most used apps in the country.

According to speculations on the internet, the decision of banning PUBG Mobile as well as the other 117 apps came in response to the ongoing tensions between China and India. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology also had concerns regarding the protection of user data that such Chinese apps had access to, and may have relayed to the Chinese government. A similar ban had been implemented on 59 apps in June, including the equally popular TikTok.

However, the news of PUBG Mobile's ban has not just triggered shock or despair among the community, but also hilarious reactions on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media platforms. Indian Twitter is blowing up with the best memes on the PUBG Mobile ban.

Without further ado, here are some of the best reactions on the PUBG Mobile ban by the Indian Twitterati:
