Indus Achieves Milestone with 5 Million Downloads and Successful Global Playtest

Indus, the Indian-made battle royale game, has achieved a significant milestone: over five million Android downloads and over 100,000 iOS downloads within just two months of its release. This follows its success at the Google Play Awards, winning "Best Made in India Game 2024," and a successful international playtest in Manila.

This surge in popularity is a testament to Indus's appeal, particularly with SuperGaming's vision to establish it as a leading Indian gaming title, surpassing competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest at the YGG Play Summit provided valuable feedback and exposure, allowing international esports players to experience the game firsthand.

SuperGaming is further bolstering Indus's growth through the Clutch India Movement, a major esports initiative. This includes the Indus International Tournament, running from October 2024 to February 2025, boasting a substantial INR 2.5 crore (approximately $31,000 USD) prize pool.

Impressive Growth, Future Potential

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

Despite this, SuperGaming's proactive approach – with international playtests, an esports tournament, and other initiatives – demonstrates ambitious plans for Indus's future development.
