The reported PUBG Mobile return to India has created speculation about an association with the recent disengagement of the Indian and Chinese border dispute. After a long period of tension resulting from the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, both the countries have agreed to the disengagement of troops and restore pre-2020 patrolling arrangements. This diplomatic breakthrough may be influencing the regulatory decisions for easing the restrictions on the apps that have Chinese affiliations. PUBG Mobile, banned in 2020, is an important part of the Indian gaming ecosystem, adding greatly to esports and revenue. While it is unclear if this is a comeback, it does point to improving relations and economic interests that point toward new dynamics in geopolitics and technology.
