After breaking ties with Tencent Games PUBG Corp is now looking for an Indian gaming company to join hands for relaunching PUBG Mobile in the country. India is one of the biggest user-base for PUBG Corp with 33 million users. Recently the Indian government has banned 118 Chinese apps citing concern over security. These apps include PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite as well.
According to a Mint report, the company is negotiating with the Indian government for the new licensing agreement. This time the game developers are looking for Indian partners to handle the distribution. But there is no clarity whether joining hands with Indian firm will help on lifting the ban or not.
“Ownership is only one of the concerns. But there are several other issues, based on which the ban has been ordered. The concerns are related to data privacy security, activity inside the phone, etc.,” a senior government official told Mint on Tuesday.
