A couple of months ago, the Indian government banned a variety of Chinese apps that also include the popular online battle royale game PUBG Mobile. However, the company is bringing back the Indian version of the game according to the latest report. The Indian version of the game is said to run on Indian servers and PUBG Corps has also confirmed the migration of PUBG IDs from the global version to the Indian version of the game. But in case you don’t know, the original version of the game works fine in the country regardless of the government ban.
I can’t stay calm because PUBG Mobile has now started working for me in India again.#pubgindia #PUBGMOBILE pic.twitter.com/ormdyfpvvy

We also tested the game on ASUS ROG Phone 3 by downloading the APK file directly from the official website. Many game enthusiasts have claimed on Twitter that they are playing the game after the ban without difficulty. We also tried to play the game right after the ban and even a couple of weeks after the ban, but we didn’t face much of a problem.
Sometimes we witness loading time, sudden restart, lag, and much more. Some users also faced a region error code that ultimately restricts them to play. This means that the game does not work for everyone and in all regions.
PUBG Mobile has recently announced that the servers are shutting down completely in India and that the game will not be playable even if someone has the game on their smartphone. However, there are reports that suggest that the game is working well and it is very difficult to assume what PUBG Mobile is planning.
We do not recommend that you download the APK and play the game, as the government has officially banned the application and we must respect the decisions made by the authorities. It seems that soon we will receive the Indian version of the game on Indian servers. Until then we can wait for the official launch instead of looking for alternatives.
