PUBG’s worldwide downloads have reduced by 26%, as revealed by Sensor Tower shows. This has happened after PUBG was banned in India, creating some big problems form the company making huge losses for them.
India was the largest user base for this game, with having more than 100 million active users regularly playing this game. Still, after the ban, it has suddenly lost this number of users, making it really difficult for the company to survive.
The Government of India took this step due to security reasons. This game violated the rules and regulations and was taking access to users’ phones, which increases the risk of privacy loss.
It can badly affect a country’s privacy policies, which can be really harmful to the country and its citizens. Thus, this extreme step was taken by the Indian government was to maintain the peace and privacy of India and keeping its citizens from any privacy risk.
Some rumors were speaking some days ago that the PUBG corporation is in talks with the Indian government to lift the ban as they are removing the Chinese company Tencent from their partnership contract. Still, the Indian government clearly revealed their intentions that they would not at all remove the ban at any conditions or cost.
With this, the day-by-day downloads of PUBG reduced, and the game, which was constantly in the first place, has now dropped down to 8th in the ranking of the top 10 most downloaded games of 2020, and as the conditions are worsening for them and maybe within few months, it may go out of the list of top 10 most downloaded games.
This ban has affected the downloads, but the revenue of this game has also shrunken a lot as India was also one of the countries from where this game was making huge revenue.
India, even China, Jordan, Nepal, Israel, and Iraq have also banned this game inside the boundary of their country.
There was a time before banning in India when PUBG was continuously ruling the number 1 position of most downloaded games for the last 15-17 months, but now it has almost gone out f the list, or we can say maybe permanently go out of the list soon.
