The one thing that is universal about releasing anything in any part of the world is communication. That is the one thing that seems to be not happening with PUBG Mobile India. When the Indian Government banned the game on 2nd September due to privacy concerns, it was assumed by many players that the game will return in some form or other. However, since the ban what we have seen is mostly rumors floating under the garb of the "release date" of the game.
To give credit where it is due, PUBG Corporation has been somewhat proactive in giving information about the game. However, the information that they have released is negligible at best. What we all know is that PUBG Mobile India is coming and it will be exclusively for Indian players. Beyond that everything that you have heard is speculation including the PUBG Mobile India pre-registration page that has gone up on TapTap.
So When is PUBG Mobile India Releasing?
Just like you, we are also wondering the same thing but from the way things are shaping up, the answer seems to be either NO or Not soon enough. Since the game was banned by the Indian Government with other major apps like TikTok over privacy concerns, they are also concerned over allowing PUBG Mobile India to release. The Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology or MeitY has legitimate concerns over the release of PUBG Mobile India.
If you think about it, all PUBG Corporation has done is re-branded the original PUBG Mobile with India added as a suffix. If that is all that was needed then every app that was banned by the MeitY can do the same and come back. From the perspective of the Government, it makes sense to not allow the release of PUBG Mobile India. A major reason for banning all those Chinese apps including TikTok, PUBG Mobile, Netease Games, and many more for hogging on the Indian mobile app market.
So for the time being, PUBG Mobile India is not coming on your smartphones. On the other hand, if you do want to play PUBG for free on your PC then you can. Just download PUBG Lite PC from the link and play it free on your PC or Laptop.
