Krafton, the Korean company that will be publishing the game, had asked streamers and content creators from referring to the game as ‘PUBG Mobile’ in fear of getting banned again. However, IGN India spotted that the game’s registration page itself mentions PUBG Mobile in the Play Store app package.

The company is probably using the PUBG Mobile nomenclature in its app package name for SEO (search engine optimisation) purposes. Since the term already has great volume on Google and other search engines, it could be a ploy by Krafton to tap traffic and visibility for the new Indian version of the game. 

If you are interested in registering for the game, Krafton is also offering rewards that include a Recon Mask, the Recon Outfit, Celebration Expert Title, and 300 AG. Pre-registration is only available for Android users at the moment and a release date for the iOS version is yet to be revealed.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is expected to launch sometime in June as a previous leak had suggested the mobile game is expected to be available for Indian gamers by 10th June.
