The comeback of PUBG mobile India as Battleground mobile India
One of the most popular games, PUBG Mobile, was banned in September 2020 by the Government of India. Along with PUBG mobile India, 118 Chinese apps are prohibited by the Government on the grounds of National Security Sections 69A of Information and Technology Act of 2000. The media said that PUBG was in a regular follow-up meeting with the Indian Government to make a comeback with few changes in the game by March 2021. On this, the Government has confirmed that they have no plans for any formal conversation with the PUBG/Kraftons during that time. The new name of the game will be Battlegrounds Mobile India for Indian players.
Although the question of PUBG’s relaunch still lingered, the Indian Government has given a response to the RTI filed by Gem Wire, saying that the access of the Mobile Nordic Map was not banned. The ban applied to the particular version of the game app by not only the Indian Government but also by other Asian countries, owing to several reasons. So here, the comeback was not for sure, but there were hopes. And today, it’s been relaunched in India. Firstly let us know in brief about PUBG.

It was created for iOS and Android platforms. The rolled-out phase of the game started in March 2018, and slowly and gradually, it became the most downloaded and played game. It received success on iOS and Android platforms. But as it is believed, due to some controversial tensions between China and India, it was ultimately banned in September 2020 in India.
PUBG Mobile game persistent online mobile game requirements are an internet connection, whether Wi-Fi or mobile data. That’s all needed to play.

Have all those iconic locations in the game been changed? Will the battle start from the Sanhok map? Well, on this, nothing has been made clear. Only some of the locations changed in the old map and new map of the game. Such changes are made keeping in mind the Indian terrains. The central part will be similar to PUBG Mobile only. All these are the speculations made based on the latest news and information.
