PUBG mobile is terminating access for Indian
users from today. Ban on 118 apps by Government of India on September this year
lead to removal of PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite from Google Play Store and
Apple App Store. Still game remained accessible for those, who already had
installed them. From today onwards company terminates all services and users
access in India to PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite.
“We deeply regret this outcome and sincerely
thank you for your support and love for PUBG Mobile in India”, company said in
Facebook post on Thursday.
India banned PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite
under section 69A of Information Technology Act 2009. Government had banned Tik
Tok and several other Chinese apps.
Protecting user data has always been a top priority and we have always complied with applicable data protection laws and regulations in India.- PUBG Mobile India said.
For removal of ban, they tried to cut ties with
Tencent, game’s publishing and distribution partner in India. But failed to
address safety concerns.
