The ban continues in India, different methods are being tried, details are in the article.
PUBG Mobile was among 118 apps and games from China that were banned by the Indian government earlier this month. This move came as a surprise and shook the entire PUBG Mobile community. Since this announcement, fans and players have been hoping that the suspension applied to this popular game will be lifted. Days after the ban, PUBG Corporation, the company behind the game, announced that it is no longer authorizing the popular PUBG Mobile franchise to Tencent Games in India. The organization added that it will take over publishing responsibilities and is looking for a local partner, and the move brings a glimmer of hope. But that expectation has now faced a setback.According to Reuters' report, it seems unlikely that the embargo will be lifted even after Tencent's departure.
"The new ownership structure is unlikely to change things immediately. The violent nature of the game has been the cause of many complaints. That won't change with the change in property rights," the report said . it is stated.
The report also said that it is unlikely that India will lift the ban imposed on both PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite, a senior government official said on Friday. This is despite PUBG Corporation's decision to withdraw the mobile game's broadcast rights in the country from China's Tencent. A spokesperson for PUBG Corporation in South Korea told Reuters:
"We have had initial discussions with Jio Platforms to look for collaboration opportunities, but nothing has been decided yet."
He added that the company is closely examining India's concerns and is ready to work on anything that needs improvement. Jio Platforms is the digital unit of Indian conglomerate Reliance Industries. A few days ago, there were reports that discussions about the withdrawal of the ban on Chinese practices had not yet started. These suspension-related updates have further reduced the chances of the game returning to India.
