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

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

SuperGaming, the developer, aims to establish Indus as a leading Indian esports title, challenging competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest at the YGG Play Summit provided valuable feedback from international esports players.

Furthermore, SuperGaming launched the Clutch India Movement, a significant esports initiative featuring the Indus International Tournament. Running from October 2024 to February 2025, this tournament boasts a substantial INR 2.5 crore (approximately $31,000 USD) prize pool.

Significant Achievement, Further Growth Expected

While Indus's five million downloads are impressive, they fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations. However, pre-registration numbers often don't fully translate to actual downloads, and the lower iOS numbers suggest a need to further penetrate that market segment.

Despite this, SuperGaming's swift implementation of international playtests and an esports tournament demonstrates ambitious plans for Indus's future development.

For players seeking competitive multiplayer experiences, extensive lists of top Android and iOS multiplayer games are readily available.
