PUBG Mobile crosses 1 billion downloads worldwide, big new update soon

PUBG Mobile has hit 1 billion downloads on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, the company has confirmed. To mark the achievement, the battle royale game is gearing up to roll out a new update, which the company says is “guaranteed to create a storm”.

“Players, it’s our turn to level up! PUBG MOBILE just hit 1 billion downloads worldwide! Stay tuned for an awesome new update  #pubgm1Billion,” PUBG Mobile said in a tweet.

However, do note that PUBG Mobile is not available in India as it is banned under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act. The game was banned in the country in September last year along with hundreds of other Chinese apps over cybersecurity concerns.

PUBG creator Krafton has been making efforts to bring back PUBG Mobile in India, though it is unclear as of now if the game will re-launch in the country soon.

PUBG Mobile will also release a brand new Karakin map that will replace Vikendi.
