PUBG mobile game is finally announced to be here in India renamed as ‘Battlegrounds Mobile India.’ The official confirmation of its arrival has put a rest to various rumors and speculations circulating over the Internet. Krafton, the developer of Battlegrounds Mobile India, has published a press release on its newly registered website about which we had reported earlier. The developer announces that the game will be available for free to play in India only. The South Korean video game maker has also assured to offer a ‘world-class AAA multiplayer gaming experience’ on smartphones. 

This news should come as a respite for all PUBG fans in India. For the unversed, the game was banned in September 2020 in the country over data breach issues.
