Krafton to completely shut down PUBG Lite mobile game on April 29
The low-end version of the battle royale game PUBG called Lite is
officially closing down on April 29.
PUBG Lite
was introduced in 2019 for entry-level mobile devices. The Indian government
banned both PUBG Mobile
and PUBG
Mobile Lite on September 2 last year.
The news of PUBG Lite's shut down was confirmed by the developers
Krafton via a message on its official website.
"We are deeply grateful for the passion and support from the
astounding number of PUBG Lite fans that have been with us. During the
strenuous times of the Covid-19 pandemic, we hope that PUBG Lite was able to
provide our fans a fun way to stay safe," the developer said.
"Unfortunately, we have made the difficult decision to close
service after much deliberation and the time has come for our journey to end.
We regretfully inform you that service of PUBG Lite is scheduled to end on
April 29th, 2021 (UTC)," the company added.
PUBG Lite Facebook will be open even after the game service
termination until further notice.
"We would like to convey our sincerest apology as well as our
deepest appreciation to everyone. We truly hope you have enjoyed your time with
us and please look forward to our future endeavours," the developers said.
PUBG Lite was among one of the most popular games of the early
pandemic months.
The game was banned under Section 69A of the Information
Technology Act in India. PUBG Corporation later announced that they were
withdrawing their partnership with Tencent, and will work with the Indian
government to look for a quick resolution.
