PUBG Mobile India unban seems likely; game will be hosted on Microsoft Azure

PUBG Mobile and PUBG Mobile Lite may return to India after South Korean company Krafton Inc. announced on Saturday that it would be working with Microsoft-owned cloud computing service, Azure, to host a wide array of its products. This includes PUBG for PC, consoles, and PUBG Mobile, as PUBG Corporation is a subsidiary of Krafton. To recall, PUBG Mobile was banned in India a couple of months ago and was removed from Apple App Store and Google Play Store as well. The game was still playable until a few days ago when Tencent announced it would be stopping server access. PUBG Corp now has the publishing rights to PUBG Mobile in India and the game may make a comeback with the help of Microsoft.



Notably, a week after Tencent's announcement, a report by TechCrunch indicated that PUBG Mobile is plotting to make a return to India before the end of this year.
