There has also been promising news in the way of esports for PUBG Mobile, with Krafton announcing a $100 million investment to cultivate the local video game, esports, entertainment, and IT industries' ecosystems in India.
Ban was imposed on September 2: The central government had banned 118 mobile apps, including PUBG, in the country, citing national security.
