However, if you are starving by PUBG Mobile and their chicken dinner, you can download the Korean version on your phone. You can download the PUBG Mobile Kr version from a link called pubg-mobile-kr.en.uptodown.com/android/download. The website tells you that it is a XAPK file and you need to download the official UptoDown Android app to get the APK download on your phone. The user must ensure that the „Install from unknown source“ option is enabled on their phone. Once done, the Korean PUBG version can be played without any problems. A VPN is used to hide your IP address and access websites that are not authorized by your Internet Service (ISP). Although this is a way to play the game without noticing anyone, it is not stable enough as the player might face high ping issues. Also, it is illegal because the Indian government has banned gambling in the country. Ultimately, it`s my personal opinion that PUBG Korean is not illegal until we get an official update from the government. For now, I would like to ask everyone not to believe the fake sources, but rather to wait for an official announcement from the government and/or PUBG Mobile. Let things go with Flow and hope the game will be back soon.
By Shubham Verma: PUBG Mobile disappeared from the Indian gaming ecosystem last year after internet service providers completely blocked it in September. But it was a legal result. Bypassing the controls, there were still a lot of people who managed to access PUBG Mobile. Thanks to the Korean version of PUBG Mobile, these players have never felt the consequences of the ban. But that could soon change. PUBG Mobile KR (KR stands for Korea) has announced plans to restrict access to the game, dealing another blow to the Indian gaming community that enjoyed the battle royale. PUBG Mobile India has been banned by the Indian government since September 2020 after tensions escalated between India and China following the clash in the Galwan Valley. Although the Indian government recently banned the popular game in an RTI application, it dispelled some doubts and gave players some hope. In the request, the Indian government said that access to PUBG Mobile is „not illegal“ in India and that only one version of the app is banned in the country. Now, what does this statement mean?
