The ban came after India banned TikTok and dozens of other popular Chinese apps in late June.<br \/>\nThese apps were \u201cprejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order,\u201d the country\u2019s IT Ministry said on both the instances.<\/p>\n<p>India bans PUBG Mobile, and over 100 other Chinese apps<\/p>\n<p>But unlike other affected apps that became unavailable within days \u2014 if not hours \u2014 PUBG Mobile apps remained accessible in the country for users who already had them installed on their phones, tablets and PCs. In fact, according to one popular mobile insight firm, PUBG Mobile had retained more than 90% of its monthly active users in the country, a mobile-first market where 99% of smartphones run Android, in the weeks following New Delhi\u2019s order.<br \/>\n(Following the ban, Google and Apple pulled PUBG Mobile apps from their app stores in India. But soon enough, guides on how to work around the ban and obtain and install the apps became popular on several forums.)<br \/>\nPUBG Mobile had about 50 million monthly active users in India, tens of millions of users ahead of Call of Duty: Mobile and Fortnite and any other mobile game in the country.<br \/>\n\u201cPUBG Mobile kickstarted an entire ecosystem \u2014 from esports organisations to teams and even a cottage industry of streamers that made the most of its spectator sport-friendly gameplay,\u201d said Rishi Alwani, a long-time analyst of Indian gaming market and publisher of news outlet The Mako Reactor.<br \/>\n\u201cGranted Tencent did a lot of the heavy lifting in building it out, but the game\u2019s quality itself was heads and shoulders above what most Indians were used to on smartphones. And that\u2019s a reason many kept coming back, some eventually monetising as well,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>India bans TikTok, dozens of other Chinese apps<\/p>\n<p>South Korea-headquartered PUBG Mobile attempted to assuage New Delhi\u2019s concern by cutting ties with Tencent, the game\u2019s publishing and distribution partner in India.<br \/>\nOn Thursday, PUBG Mobile said, \u201cprotecting user data has always been a top priority and we have always complied with applicable data protection laws and regulations in India. All users\u2019 gameplay information is processed in a transparent manner as disclosed in our privacy policy.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cWe deeply regret this outcome, and sincerely thank you for your support and love for PUBG Mobile in India,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>PUBG cuts publishing ties with Tencent Games in India a week after ban<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/guce.techcrunch.com\/consent?brandType=nonEU&#038;done=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcrunch%2Ecom%2F2020%2F10%2F29%2Fpubg%2Dmobile%2Dto%2Dterminate%2Daccess%2Dfor%2Dusers%2Din%2Dindia%2Don%2Doctober%2D30%2Dfollowing%2Dban%2Dorder%2F&#038;gcrumb=fsTOxWs=\">PUBG Mobile to terminate access for users in India on October 30 following ban order<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PUBG Mobile, the sleeper hit mobile game, will terminate all service and access for users in India on October 30, two months after New Delhi banned the game in the world\u2019s second largest internet market over cybersecurity concerns.
