Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, surpasses five million Android downloads and 100,000 iOS downloads within two months of its launch. This follows its success at the Google Play Awards, where it was recognized as the Best Made in India Game of 2024, and a successful international playtest in Manila.
SuperGaming, the developer behind Indus, aims to establish the game as a leading force in Indian gaming, surpassing competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest at the YGG Play Summit provided valuable feedback from international esports players.
Furthermore, SuperGaming's ambitious Clutch India Movement has launched, focusing on esports and featuring the Indus International Tournament. This tournament, running from October 2024 to February 2025, boasts a prize pool of INR 2.5 crores (approximately $31,000).
Significant Achievement, Further Growth Anticipated
While Indus's five million downloads are impressive, they fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations. However, it's worth noting that pre-registration numbers don't always translate directly to actual downloads. The relatively low iOS download count also suggests room for growth in that market segment.
Despite this, the swift implementation of international playtests and the launch of a significant esports tournament showcase SuperGaming's ambitious vision for Indus's future.
