PUBG Mobile was banned in India in September and has been removed from the Google Play store and the Apple App Store. It was among 118 apps that were banned by the government. PUBG Corp, the unit of the South Korean firm behind the game, then announced that it would no longer give Tencent Games the rights to publish the game in India. However, a recent report states that this new ownership structure is unlikely to change things immediately due to the violent nature of the game.
