Now gamers outside India would also be able to download the app through Google Play Store on their Android smartphones. The game has not yet released for iOS and there's no information as to when it will be released for iPhone users.
FAU-G, right after the game launch in India, also announced that the game has become the top free game on Google Play. FAU-G reached five million downloads within 24 hours of its launch.
According to Mashable, the game has received mixed public reaction as many have criticized it for its basic storyline and features. There are some, however, who have welcomed the new Indian alternative to the banned PUB-G game in the country.
The FAU-G game launch announcement was made by Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar along with a pre-register link and a new trailer for the game.
