On October 30, Tencent Games announced the complete shut down of services
PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite’s Indian servers were operated by China-based Tencent Games
PUBG was banned on Playstore and AppStore two months ago
Despite the ban, existing users could continue to access the game
PUBG is manufactured by PUBG Corporation, a South Korean company
Following the ban, the publishing rights in India were taken back from Tencent
PUBG had sought to circumvent the ban in collaboration with Indian companies
The ban was prompted by allegations including leakage user data
Earlier, Indian govt had banned popular apps like TikTok and WeChat
