PUBG Ban: PUBG Corporation to Take Over PUBG Mobile From Tencent Games in India
PUBG Corporation has decided to no longer authorise the PUBG Mobile franchise to Shenzhen-based Tencent Games in India and take over all its publishing responsibilities within the country, the company said in a statement on Monday. The new move comes in response to the PUBG Mobile ban in the country that was announced last week. Apart from PUBG Mobile, PUBG Mobile Lite and other 116 Chinese-origin apps and games were banned by the government in one take.
Shortly after the ban was imposed by the government on last Wednesday, Tencent that is the publisher of PUBG Mobile, said it would engage with Indian authorities to ensure the continued availability of its apps in India. PUBG Corporation, the developer of the battle royale game, however, has now decided to no longer authorise the franchise to Tencent Games in the country.
“Moving forward, PUBG Corporation will take on all publishing responsibilities within the country,” the company said in the statement on its website. “As the company explores ways to provide its own PUBG experience for India in the near future, it is committed to doing so by sustaining a localised and healthy gameplay environment for its fans.”

Vinay Awasthi, Managing Director, HP India Market told IANS, "The introduction of 4G LTE access in a mainstream device will transform the experience for millions of PC users in India to work, learn and play from anytime, anywhere," said.

"With remote working becoming the new normal, the HP 14s range is aimed at arming employees and employers to battle the given situation," said Vickram Bedi, Senior Director, Personal Systems, HP India Market.
The devices get Windows 10 operating system and built-in Intel XMM 7360 4G LTE6 to provide network connectivity.
