Indian government removed 118 Chinese smartphones apps which also included the popular game PUBG.

According to report, it is likely that ISPs will also begin to block server access to both PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite in the country, as well as it is unclear at this time whether using a VPN app will bypass these further measures.

India claims that these apps were “engaged in activities which are prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order. Now following the ban both Google and Apple have removed the game from their Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

It was additionally reported that Chinese web big Tecent noticed a decline of two% in its share buying and selling on the Hong Kong inventory alternate after India’s ban on PUBG.

Tencent shares closed at simply over $69 per share on last Thursday, some 2% down from practically $71 the day earlier than. The drop in share costs is linked to India being PUBG’s largest market by way of consumer base.

Noteworthy, the Mobile version is the biggest mobile game in India with more than 50 million monthly active players, but has fallen foul of government bans on primarily Chinese apps, PUBG Mobile is made by Tencent Games.

Besides the new season, you can expect to find a new team Deathmatch map called Ruins, where you’ll explore mysterious ruins hidden in a rainforest.

Also, a new SMG called the MP5K, and a new vehicle makes an appearance, the Zima, which replaces the UAZ in Vikendi. It’s also worth noting that Mini-Zone will be taken down temporarily and that Quick Match will now be available at all times, according tech news.
