Technology News: In what could be the most important reason for Indian gamers to rejoice, PUBG Mobile India has been officially launched in India by PUBG Corporation. The new edition is named PUBG Mobile India, where the word "India" denotes the many things that went wrong with the earlier version and led to the ban, are fixed. according to PUBG Corporation, the new edition is specifically designed for Indian users, which include local customisations like characters starting the game fully clothed. The official release date of PUBG Mobile India are going to be announced soon.

South Korea's PUBG Corporation has said it'll offer secure and healthy gameplay for the PUBG Mobile India, which are likely to be in line with the government's mandate. PUBG Corporation's parent company Krafton recently tied up with Microsoft to store user data on Azure Cloud, which is additionally available in India locally. the government has mandated the data of Indian users stays within the borders under the data localisation policy. So, that's one item ticked off from the list.

Apart from the government's concerns, the rhetoric of PUBG Mobile being a bad influence on teenagers of India had tons to do with the ban simultaneously. the overall perception of PUBG Mobile as a violent game that goes against certain "cultural practices" are some things that PUBG Corporation is addressing head-on. within the India-specific PUBG Mobile India, the characters are going to be fully clothed, unlike the regular version where avatars are half-naked and need to be dressed with the assistance of attires won or bought within the game. the game will also be set in a virtual simulation training ground that's familiar to Indian users.

One of the most important reasons behind the dismissal of PUBG Mobile was health reasons. PUBG Corporation is also addressing that aspect with the new feature inside PUBG Mobile India that will put restrictions on game time "to promote healthy gameplay habits for younger players." But effective this feature is going to be is something that remains to be seen and observed over time.

PUBG Corporation has also announced that it'll create an Indian subsidiary to "enhance communications and services with players." The Indian subsidiary will employ 100 people specialising in areas of business, esports, and game development, through which the PUBG Corporation plans to allay fears of the govt and users associated with the foreign manpower. This move is also beneficial for PUBG Corporation because it will increase jobs within the country, especially when the app ecosystem of India is undergoing a significant change as a result of the backlash against Chinese apps.

Beyond the employment, PUBG Corporation will make investments worth $100 million in India's various ecosystems to "cultivate the local video game, esports, entertainment, and IT industries." according to the company, this might be the biggest investment by a Korean company in India other than those within the manufacturing industry. a significant portion of this investment are going to be dedicated to esports events and tournaments that the new Indian subsidiary will hold time to time to give a boost to India's gamer community. These events, the company says, will be "India-exclusive" and bring large prize pools and tournament productions.

PUBG to Return in India? PUBG Corp Breaks Ties With Tencent Games

The PUBG Corporation has announced that it'll hand over PUBG Mobile, that was handled by Tencent Games in India, to a South Korean firm. As a result, the banned game could also be unbanned from India very soon.

PUBG Mobile Ban: PUBG lovers needn't be sad for too long. The PlayerUnknown Battleground corporation has reportedly decided to tug back its association with the PUBG mobile franchise Tencent Games, to regain many lost gamers days after the Indian government banned the favored game, along side 117 other Chinese apps.

The PUBG Corporation has announced that it'll fork over PUBG Mobile, that was handled by Tencent Games in India, to a South Korean firm. As a result, the banned game could also be unbanned from India very soon.

In its statement following the ban, the gaming company said, "PUBG Corporation fully understands and respects the measures taken by the government as the privacy and security of player data is a top priority for the company. It hopes to figure hand-in-hand with the Indian government to find a solution that will allow gamers to once again drop into the battlegrounds while being fully compliant with Indian laws and regulations." 

The Centre banned 118 more Chinese mobile applications last week over concerns regarding "security, surveillance and data privacy".

"The compilation of these data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defence of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures," the Centre said within the statement.

Earlier, the Union government had already banned 108 Chinese apps in two phases, including the popular short video making platform TikTok.

The June ban of 59 Chinese apps was followed by blocking of 47 more Chinese apps that were clones and variants of those banned earlier.
