The government's decision comes days after South Korean gaming giant Crafton removed a popular battle royale game, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), from the Play Store. Google had said that it has received an order from the government in this regard and has thus blocked access to the app.
In September 2020, Krafton's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) was blocked along with 117 other China-linked apps, citing data security concerns.
Earlier in the year, it was also reported that the battle royale game Free Fire along with 53 other China-related apps were banned under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act on February 14, citing security concerns.
