Indus Surpasses Five Million Downloads with Launch of Manila Playtest

Indus Battle Royale, the Indian-developed battle royale shooter, has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing five million downloads on Android and 100,000 on iOS within just two months of its launch. This follows a successful international playtest in Manila and a prestigious Google Play Award win for "Best Made in India Game 2024."

SuperGaming, the developer behind Indus, has set its sights on establishing the game as a leading force in Indian esports through its ambitious Clutch India Movement. This initiative includes the Indus International Tournament, a competition running from October 2024 to February 2025, boasting a substantial INR 2.5 crore prize pool (approximately $31,000 USD).

The Manila playtest provided valuable feedback and exposure, allowing local esports professionals to experience the game firsthand. While the five million Android downloads fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations (a common disparity), the accomplishment remains noteworthy. The lower iOS download figures suggest a need for further engagement with that segment of the Indian market.

Despite this, SuperGaming's proactive approach – including international playtests and a dedicated esports tournament – showcases its considerable ambition for Indus' future growth and its potential to become a dominant player in the Indian gaming landscape.
