Even though the link ended up not working, it did pump up the amount of excitement among the fans. This has also shown that the company is all set to officially launch PUBG Mobile India and within the coming days, it will available to play.
The link appeared for a short while and the website is now back at showing the PUBG Mobile India Announcement, which reads, “Dear Fans, To comply with the interim order of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology dated September 2, 2020, Tencent Games will terminate all service and access for users in India to PUBG MOBILE Nordic Map: Livik and PUBG MOBILE Lite (together, “PUBG Mobile”) on October 30, 2020.
