Both RTI applications had inquired if if the Ministry has granted PUBG Mobile India the permission to launch game in India via Google and Apple’s app stores.
Following this statement from the Central ministry, it appears that the door for PUBG Mobile India is closed for sometime now for its launch in the country, at least until March 2021. However, fans don’t need to be discouraged as there is another indigenous mobile game names FAU-G being developed, that is all set to fill the void left by now banned gaming app PubG in the country.
Earlier, Insidesport had reported that PUBG Corporation executives are chasing the MeitY officials for more than a month for a meeting but they are yet to get an appointment from the government side.
