When the news broke, young people all throughout India screamed out in anguish. It was official: PUBG had been banned in India. To be honest, in addition to the previously banned apps, India had blacklisted a total of 118 Chinese apps. PUBG Mobile was one of these apps, although no one seemed to worry about it because of the PUBG Ban. It doesn’t matter. While you’re crying over this news, here are some hilarious PUBG Ban memes to cheer you up.
The community’s reaction is unsurprising, given that PUBG was one of India’s most popular apps. Not to add that India was one of the most popular PUBG Mobile markets. According to a Sensor Tower estimate, PUBG has received over 175 million downloads in India alone. As a result, India accounts for nearly a quarter of the app’s overall downloads. Losing such a large market share must be devastating.
It should be noted that only PUBG Mobile is prohibited, as well as other mobile versions of the game such as PUBG Mobile Nordic Map: Livik and PUBG Mobile Lite. The original version of PUBG, which is a PC game, is not prohibited. The reason for this is that the game’s mobile versions were launched by Tencent, a Chinese publisher with servers situated primarily in China. PUBG Corp, the game’s original creator and publisher, is a Korean firm. So there is still hope.
