Is Only Livik Map Banned Or The Entire Game?

A few hours ago, the Indian government announced the ban of PUBG Mobile in India along with 118 other Chinese apps. According to India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), banned apps pose a direct threat to Indian user data.

In the list provided by the Indian government, PUBG Mobile was mentioned as "PUBG Mobile Nordic Map: Livik". Because of this, many Indian PUBG Mobile gamers feel that only the Livik card is banned and the rest of the PUBG Mobile content will still be available. However, this is not the case, as the entire PUBG Mobile app is banned.

PUBG Mobile is known to change its name every time it launches a new map in the game. For example, when PUBG Mobile released the revamped version of the Miramar map, Miramar 2.0 or Mad Miramar, the full name of PUBG Mobile on Google Play Store was "PUBG Mobile: Mad Miramar".

So in the list, the name of the game is " PUBG Mobile Nordic Map: Livik " because it is the real name of the app on Google Play Store.

To sum up, it is safe to say that the entire PUBG Mobile app is banned, and not just one particular card, and there is no way to escape the truth.

Moreover, at present, many Indian gamers can run the PUBG Mobile app even after the ban notification. However, this may be because it takes some time to kick off PUBG Mobile's complete ban in India.
