Indus picks up five million downloads and concludes first international playtest in Manila

Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, has achieved remarkable success, surpassing five million Android downloads and 100,000 iOS downloads within just two months of its release. This follows a triumphant international playtest in Manila and a prestigious Google Play Award win for "Best Made in India Game 2024."

This significant milestone underscores SuperGaming's ambitious vision to establish Indus as a leading force in Indian gaming, surpassing competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila YGG Play Summit playtest provided valuable feedback and exposure, allowing international esports players to experience Indus firsthand.

SuperGaming's commitment to esports is further solidified by the launch of the Clutch India Movement, culminating in the Indus International Tournament. This tournament, running from October 2024 to February 2025, boasts a substantial INR 2.5 crore (approximately $31,000) prize pool.

Impressive Growth, Further Potential:

While Indus's five million downloads are impressive, they fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations. However, it's important to remember that pre-registrations don't always translate directly to downloads. The relatively lower iOS download count also suggests a need for further penetration in that market segment.

Despite this, Indus's rapid progress, coupled with SuperGaming's strategic moves—including international playtests and an esports tournament—clearly demonstrates their ambitious plans for the game's future development.
