It’s been over a month since PUBG Mobile had gotten banned in India. The battle royale title was by far one of the most popular mobile games in the region but was recently banned by the local government. Although now, the game might soon be back as a new job listing on LinkedIn suggests that the game might be back with a new name, PUBG Corporation.
Over the last couple of weeks, there had been reports and rumors floating around regarding the possible return of PUBG Mobile in India. However, this was almost confirmed after PUBG Corporation put up a recruitment notice on its official LinkedIn profile for the role of a Corporate Development Division Manager for the Indian subcontinent. The job required someone who can “support the setup process of PUBG India with guidance from HQ.”

According to a SportsKeeda report, this might be a requirement for operating PUBG Mobile in India after the ban. For those unaware, the game alongside 118 other Chinese applications were banned in India by the IT Ministry. This arrives amid growing frictions between India and China, which even led to military clashes among the Indo-China borders.
This, in turn, meant that the company lost nearly a quarter of the entire player base of the game, while even Indian content creators were suffering from losing out, monetarily, if a length suspension was put into place. Since the ban, PUBG Mobile has had its revenue from 221 million US Dollars in August 2020 to 198 million US Dollars in September 2020. This also led to a drop in player numbers overall as well.
