A Google search of terms like ‘PUBG Mobile India APK download’ shows a shady-looking Chrome extension that claims to redirect you to a working download link of the game, and a shoddily-written blog post that purportedly has a download link embedded somewhere. Thankfully, the Google Play Store doesn’t seem to be host to any unofficial APKs that try to masquerade as PUBG Mobile India. That is all the more reason not to trust sketchy-looking APK hosted on third-party websites.
Things are a little different on reputed app repositories like APKMirror and APKPure. Both sites let you download the Tencent-run version of PUBG Mobile. Unfortunately, that version of the game won’t run in India. The same applies to other region-bound flavours of the game such as PUBG Mobile VN and PUBG Mobile KR. Even if you were to get your hands on a beta version of the game, it won’t work because it is an invite-only program and requires a code.
