PUBG Mobile India Launches With New Restrictions
PUBG Mobile India is a multi-player battle royale game. Developed by Krafton, the game is now available for Android and iOS devices. In India, the game will feature restrictions aimed at protecting minors. In addition to the upcoming restrictions, the game will come with new maps, such as Sanhok and Erangel.
PUBG Mobile was banned in India
The PUBG Mobile app was banned in India due to security and data concerns. It was a big disappointment for Indian PUBG fans who were looking forward to the game’s return. According to reports and complaints, the game’s content was harmful to the state, defence, and public order in India. In response, the developers of the game wrote to the government of India, but they received no response.
A 16-year-old boy, who was obsessed with the game, was recently arrested after allegedly killing his mother because she tried to scold him. The case has reignited debates about the harmful effects of mobile games on children. The issue of violence in games has been discussed in the Indian parliament and the government has said it is working on safeguards to protect children from misuse. A government spokesperson said that the ban on the PUBG mobile game is in line with other similar sounding apps that have been banned in China.
The ban comes after the latest update to PUBG Mobile, Version 18.2, which included a new map called Deston. It also added new mechanics and a new weapon, the O12 shotgun. Additionally, the game’s developer Krafton added graphical options to the app to improve performance and visuals. The ban is a blow to Krafton, which had worked hard to make PUBG Mobile available in India.
It will launch with restrictions aimed at protecting minors
PUBG Mobile India is about to launch with a few restrictions aimed at protecting minors. The company has decided to limit the amount of time a minor can spend on the game. Parents have complained that the game is extremely addictive and can cause both physical and mental health problems. In response to this growing concern, Krafton has decided to limit the game’s maximum session and spending limits to three hours per day for under-18s.
The company has also stated that underage players will need the consent of their parents or guardians before being able to play. The new rules will also place limitations on in-app purchases and playtime. This is a welcome move as it will help protect children from the negative aspects of the game.
The company has also implemented a time limit and OTP confirmation on PUBG Mobile India. This step is aimed at preventing underage players from spending excessive amounts of money on the game. In addition, the developers will display warning messages and break reminders and restrict the number of hours a child can spend playing the game in a single session.
It will run on most phones in the sub-Rs 20,000 range
Among the smartphones that are capable of running PUBG Mobile, the best option would be the Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018). This smartphone features a 6.53-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD screen with a 19:5:9 aspect ratio. It is also equipped with a 4D vibration motor and supports the latest gaming modes. Overall, this phone is one of the best gaming smartphones in the sub-Rs 20,000 price range.
Although the official release date for Pubg Mobile India has not yet been announced, Krafton has already released a beta version of the India avatar on Google Play Store. However, the rush to download the game led to a slow Google Play Store experience, as most beta test slots were already filled up.
The Samsung Galaxy S7 is another smartphone in this price range that will run the game. The smartphone comes with a plastic finish, but the internals are well-built and feel premium. It is best to protect the phone with a hard case.
It will have Sanhok and Erangel maps
The makers of PUBG Mobile may still use the Sanhok map in their new free-to-play game in India. However, they may replace the name of certain maps for a more unified theme. The Battlegrounds Mobile India team has already contacted content creators in India to discuss the changes.
The Erangel map is one of the most popular battle royale arenas in the game, featuring a diverse landscape. Both solo players and squad teams have enjoyed playing in this area. The new India version of the game will feature these maps. While they haven’t yet been officially announced, the company has teased fans with several announcements. For example, the UAZ vehicle, which helped players climb hills in the Erangel map, will be available in the Indian version of the game.
Another poster teased the Sanhok map, showing its location. This map was added to the game in September 2018. The Sanhok map is smaller than other maps in the game. It is also larger than the Livik map. The poster does not specify a release date, but does reveal that the game will feature the Sanhok and Erangel maps in India.
