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 launch. This follows its success at the Google Play Awards, winning "Best Made in India Game 2024," and a successful international playtest in Manila.

The game's developer, SuperGaming, aims to establish Indus as a leading Indian gaming title, rivaling competitors such as FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest at the YGG Play Summit provided valuable feedback from local esports professionals.

SuperGaming's ambitious Clutch India Movement further solidifies their esports aspirations. This initiative, spearheaded by the Indus International Tournament (running from October 2024 to February 2025), boasts a substantial INR 2.5 crore (approximately $31,000 USD) prize pool.

Significant Achievement, Further Growth Projected

While the five million downloads are impressive, they fall slightly short of the ten million pre-registrations. However, it's worth noting that pre-registration numbers often don't fully translate into actual downloads. The relatively low iOS download count also suggests a need for further market penetration in that segment.

Despite this, Indus's rapid progress, including international playtests and an esports tournament, showcases SuperGaming's significant ambitions for the game's future.
