PUBG ban India: Gaming app no longer available on Play store, App store

As Indian government announced the ban on Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) in India, the gaming app has now been removed from Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

The government on Wednesday banned PUBG and 118 other Chinese apps including Apus Launcher Pro, AppLock, WeChat Work, Baidu among others.

The removal of PUBG from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store means that you can no longer download the app. We searched for PUBG mobile on the App Store and Play Store but found no traces of the app.

However, if you already have the app installed on your phone, you can still use it because the app has not been blocked on the networks.

Once the Internet service providers block access to the app, you will no longer be able to play it even if you have it on your phone.
