If your friends say that PUBG Mobile has been banned in India and you have just come online to confirm it, then let us tell you that what they are saying is true. Today the Govt. of India has decided to ban a total of 118 Mobile Applications, which includes popular mobile games like PUBG Mobile, Rules of Survival, Arena of Valor, and many others.
PUBG Mobile Has Been Banned in India
However, this comes as a no big surprise as these apps were already being expected to be getting a ban after the Indian Government banned 59 Chinese apps earlier this year. The reason for the ban is the same as before, i.e.' concerns of data security after fresh tension between India and China on the border area in Ladakh.
PUBG Mobile, in the past one month, has tried it best to avoid the ban by making many changes to its system and policies, but that also failed, and it has fallen under the radar of the Indian Government.
It's the End of PUBG Mobile?
It comes as a massive loss to Tencent Games (Developers and Publisher of PUBG Mobile) as the game has been downloaded a total of over 800 Million times, out of which India amounted to a total of 200 Million downloads i.e. 24% of the total download.
PUBG Mobile was the most popular game in India, and the developers had already planned many upcoming mobile eSports games to be conducted in the country. However, all such events will now be canceled.

There are a total of 118 Mobile App that has been banned today, which includes many popular mobile games such as Rules of Survival, Cyber Hunter, Arena of Valor, etc. The list of all banned app has been attached below.
