Around the same time when PUBG India's latest update was about its ban, PUBG Corporation had also made an announcement at that time that it is no longer going to authorise the PUBG Mobile franchise to the China-based game company known as Tencent Games in India.

After all this happened, a recent PUBG mobile news is about the PUBG Corporation's announcement that they are preparing for launching a new game which will be known as "PUBG Mobile India" and will be created specifically for this major Indian market for mobile gaming.

- A virtual simulation training ground setting
- Clothing on new characters
- Green hit effects instead of red
- A new feature to restrict game time for younger players.
It was also announced that they are planning to make an investment of a total of $100 million in India which is one of the biggest markets of PUBG Mobile. This investment will be towards the cultivation of this local video game, for ESPORTS, entertainment, and IT industries ecosystems. They also have plans to hire more than 100 employees and even more in the future.
