The Korean game maker Krafton (Chinese name: Kuijiang Group, formerly Blue Hole Company) announced that the Indian version of its mobile game “PUBG Mobile” has over 100 million registered players. After the “PUBG Mobile” mobile game was banned in India in 2020, Krafton launched a separate mobile game called ” Battlegrounds Mobile India “, which is an India-specific version of the game. When it went live again in July 2021, the game was an immediate explosive success. It had exponential player growth and over 50 million cumulative downloads within 44 days of launch.
The company also held e-sports events in India last year to expand the number of local users. The total prize money is 10 million rupees ($127 million), attracting more than 540,000 people to participate in the preliminary round. This year, it had to increase it to 20 million rupees ($254 million), and on the first anniversary of its launch, the official will hold 4 professional and semi-professional tournaments with prize money of 60 million rupees ($760 million).

PUBG Mobile – city map “Diston”
“PUBG Mobile” Diston will launch on July 13, and the official trailer is already here. The town of Diston was devastated by a catastrophic hurricane and rapidly decayed after falling into bankruptcy… All that remains is an abandoned desalination plant, an overgrown seaweed farm and a flooded city. But it’s not empty… because the land now has a new use.
Brand new features:
Lift
You can quickly climb a skyscraper using a lift on the building. This is also probably the only way you can get to the higher floors.
Motorboat
This open-top punt can travel on land and water using propeller-fan thrusters. Enjoy a fast ride across swamps, shallow waters or open water in a brand new hovercraft!
O12
Introducing the Origin 12, the fastest-firing shotgun in the world. The O12 is the first high-capacity weapon in PUBG: PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds that takes advantage of a very high rate of fire. Combining high damage and high rate of fire, the O12 will be the top weapon for destroying enemies at medium and close range!
Functional parachute
On the Diston map, every player can use a functional parachute at any time. When you jump from a height, press the interact button to glide freely!
