The company also revealed plans to provide a secure and healthy gameplay environment alongside investments to cultivate local video games, esports, entertainment, and IT industries. In November 2020, PUBG Corporation announced that it was preparing to launch PUBG Mobile India, a new game created specifically for the Indian market. This corporate merger took PUBG Corporation under the umbrella of Krafton. In October 2020, PUBG Corporation, the subsidiary of Bluehole Studios which is responsible for the management of their title PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds, announced that it is merging with Krafton Inc, a South Korean video game holding company.

Thus, a ban in one of its most important markets came as a jolt for Tencent. India, in fact, accounted for 24 percent, or 175 million, of PUBG’s lifetime downloads until June 2020, according to Sensor Tower. Tencent’s wildly popular battle royale game counts hundreds of millions of users globally. Following the move, its parent company, China’s Tencent, lost $14 billion in market value in a single day. PUBG Mobile was banned in India in September 2020 by the Government of India in its crackdown against Chinese apps. However, some reports said that PUBG Mobile India would not be out before March 2021. Earlier, reports claimed that PUBG Mobile India would be relaunched in January itself. On January 15, the action game's trailer was launched, leaving millions of gamers awaiting the relaunch of the popular game. Despite widespread speculation that the battle royale game is expected to relaunch in India by January 19, PUBG is still not out in India.

India has been eagerly awaiting the launch of PUBG Mobile India, ever since PUBG Mobile was banned by the central government.
