Netizens celebrated with memes and jokes after popular game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds better known as PUBG announced Thursday it was preparing to launch PUBG Mobile India, a new game specially designed for the Indian market.
The latest version will be a version of PUBG Mobile, which was banned earlier this year in India by the government. However, the in-game content will be tailored to reflect local needs, specially customised for Indian gamers.
In the updated version, the game will now be set in a virtual simulation training ground and new characters will automatically start fully clothed. The game will also come with a new game time restriction feature to promote healthy gameplay habits for younger players, the company said in a statement.

The company is yet to announce the release date of PUBG Mobile India.
PUBG Mobile, along with 117 other apps was banned in India on September 2 under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act due to a military standoff between India and China continued in eastern Ladakh.
As of now, the game is no longer available on the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store.
