PUBG Mobile India pre-registration is not official yet: Report

Ever since PUBG Corporation announced that PUBG Mobile was coming back to India in a new avatar, players have been waiting with bated breath for the game to show up on the Play Store or App Store. Some reports have indicated that pre-registrations for PUBG Mobile India have gone live on the TapTap app store. This comes after reports which highlight that the government is steadfast in its decision of keeping the ban until the privacy and security issues are not addressed.

According to several reports online as well as posts on social media platforms like Twitter, pre-registration listing for the new avatar of PUBG Mobile has gone live on TapTap which is a “game recommendation” platform. The listing has amassed over 90,000 pre-registrations at the time of publishing this report with a 9.9 rating. Having said that, while the listing does mention the developer to be PUBG Corporation, the company has not officially revealed any pre-registration links for the upcoming game yet.

We have reached out to PUBG Corp to determine the authenticity of the TapTap listing and will update the report with an official statement as we receive it.

PUBG has not revealed details about the launch yet

The official statement from PUBG Corp. still says that “More information on the launch of PUBG MOBILE INDIA will be released at a later date.” This means that the company has not initiated any pre-registration links for the game on Play Store or the App Store, let alone TapTap. 

This is similar to how a listing for the much-awaited FAU-G game went live on TapTap. While the listing shows the developer to be nCore Games, there is no official word from the company about the pre-registration listing.

In all likelihood, PUBG Mobile India listing on TapTap is rather premature and doesn’t shed light on when the game will be available officially.

At this point, there’s much to be known about the revival of PUBG Mobile in India and how PUBG Corp. plans to release the new version of the game. That said, we would urge our readers and fans of the game to be patient and avoid jumping the gun as there’s no official word from the company on the actual launch date yet.

Moreover, as per a tweet from esports announcer Ocean Sharma, PUBG Corp could be looking to drop a trailer for PUBG Mobile India before the game is formally released. 

To recap, PUBG Corp has announced that it is preparing a special version of the popular battle royale game for the Indian players and it is called PUBG Mobile India. The company has also revealed its plans for setting up a subsidiary in India and invest 100 million USD to promote and boost esports in the country.
