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 achievement follows its win at the Google Play Best Made in India Game 2024 awards and a successful international playtest in Manila.

SuperGaming, the developer behind Indus, aims to establish the game as a leading force in Indian gaming, vying for dominance against competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest at the YGG Play Summit provided valuable feedback from local esports professionals.

Furthering its esports ambitions, SuperGaming launched the Clutch India Movement, featuring 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.

Significant Progress, Future Growth Potential

While the five million downloads are a significant accomplishment, they fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations. However, pre-registration numbers rarely translate directly to actual downloads. The lower iOS download count suggests a need to further penetrate that market segment.

Despite this, SuperGaming's swift implementation of international playtests and an esports tournament showcases its ambitious vision for Indus's growth. The company's proactive approach suggests significant future potential.
