PUBG Mobile India’s launch in India has apparently been delayed due to the lack of permission given to operate in the country by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY). This has increased the frustration of the gamers who have been waiting with anticipation for the launch of the game ever since it was banned in September 2020 by the Government following the India-China tensions. However, in a massive setback, PUBG Mobile India might not get launched at all. According to a report in India Today, MEITY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology) has reportedly denied permission to PUBG Corporation for the launch of PUBG Mobile in India. The government is not convinced of the launch of the app despite several changes from the PUBG corporations.

This comes as a major surprise for many gamers and for many who have followed the development. According to reports, KRAFTON, which is a collective of independent game development teams responsible for various entertainment properties like PUBG and TERA have tied up with Microsoft Azure.

How does this development impact PUBG Mobile India? It is a massive development on the security front. Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers. Microsoft Azure manages the computing and storage of resources on Microsoft’s data centers and this is what primarily keeps the data, such as servers and user information, secure.

The secure and safe storage of user information is what will ensure PUBG Mobile India makes a grand comeback. Security breach of user data was cited as the major reason behind the PUBG Mobile ban.

Welcome gift leaked?

However, PUBG Mobile continues to be in the news as the launch of the game gets delayed to February 2021. According to a report by the Indian Express, PUBG Mobile’s global version apparently leaked a welcome gift on Youtube and that has caught the attention of the gamers, especially in India. It is speculated that data miners allegedly spotted PUBG Mobile India’s welcome gift, inside of the PUBG Mobile global version. The welcome gift is expected to be given to gamers who would be downloading and playing PUBG Mobile India at the time of launch.

However, these items could just be a part of test and the rewards may change at the time of launch of PUBG Mobile India. In the past, there have been speculations that the APK Download for PUBG Mobile came on Google Play Store as well as on Android for several hours. However, the official APK Download version will only be available once there is clearance from the government and the official PUBG Corporation releases a statement.
