PUBG Mobile is all set to make a comeback in India after the game was banned in September. Interestingly, the game is being relaunched in India after the original creators of the game PUBG Corporation ended its partnership with China-based Tencent games and set up a new company called PUBG India Pvt. Ltd. An entirely new game will be launched for the Indian market called PUBG Mobile India which will be slightly different to the original game that people were used to playing before the ban.
