Well, I think I’ve given you a brief idea of the popularity (or infamy) of PUBG Mobile in the country. While politicians and representatives were up in arms about the game and its effects, there wasn’t really much done by the government about it until September 5, 2
For the longest time, multiplayer gaming in India revolved around cyber cafes. A regular weekend plan (or weekday, if you decided not to attend class) would consist of you and your mates heading to the nearest LAN gaming parlor and spending the day playing Counter-Strike, DOTA 2, or whatever said parlor had installed. For most of the country, that was the extent of online gaming. There would be intermittent waves with games like League of Legends, but nothing took the mass population by storm quite like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, especially the mobile vers
PUBG Mobile does a good job with this. You can play while on a bus or train ride to school or work (or even play in those places, just don’t get caught). Good luck trying to do this on a PS4 or Xbox
PUBG had not only become India’s most popular game, but also became a reason for social gatherings. Instead of just hanging out and chatting at their usual spots, you’ll see kids and young adults specifically meeting to play PUBG Mobile. A cigarette or tea break from work usually included a round of the game. At a previous company, the entire design team would synchronize their breaks to dive into Erangel. The game even gave rise to a whole segment of streamers with millions of subscribers, something that was quite rare before PUBG took over the coun
With cooperative multiplayer, players can team up with friends to take on challenging bosses and levels together. It’s pretty much the definition of a perfect sequel, and the fact that Risk of Rain 2 is still wildly popular to this day is proof of just how brilliant this title really
However, the hype was short-lived. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology in India reportedly denied permission for the launch of PUBG Mobile in India. It seems that the government was not convinced by the changes made and that the app may still be a potential security r
Multiple sensationalist news articles about PUBG related deaths featured across various online news outlets as if India had finally arrived at its satanic panic phase. Politicians from all over the country went up in arms about this evil game ruining the lives of impressionable children. Even Prime Minister Modi addressed the topic at an education-related event in India. Lastly, almost every news, finance, content, lifestyle, sports, or e-commerce site started churning out PUBG related content to boost their SEO numbers.

The Training Mode in both games is also slightly different. PUBG Mobile has Training Camp, while PUBG has Camp Jackal. Camp Jackal is significantly larger than Training Camp, meaning practicing long rang battles and driving cars will be much easier on PUBG .

His passive ability is Stalker , and is great for those players that wish to stalk their opponents first. This makes your crouched walking speed much faster than any other legend, meaning you will be able to literally stalk enemy teams – though unless you’re focusing on stealth (pretty rare in this game) this is not guaranteed to be of much help. More useful though is the fast-climbing ability that Stalker also gives, which allows Revenant to scale buildings faster, and climb higher than other legends.
