Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, surpasses five million Android downloads and 100,000 iOS downloads just two months post-launch. This follows its success at the Google Play Awards, winning "Best Made in India Game 2024," and a successful international playtest in Manila.
This significant achievement positions Indus as a leading contender in the Indian gaming market, vying for dominance against competitors such as FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest at the YGG Play Summit provided valuable feedback from international esports professionals.
SuperGaming, the developer, is aggressively pursuing esports dominance with the launch of the Clutch India Movement, 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.
Impressive Growth, Further Potential:
While the five million downloads are impressive, they fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations. However, it's important to note that pre-registrations rarely translate directly into downloads. The lower iOS download numbers also suggest a need to further penetrate that market segment.
Despite this, SuperGaming's swift implementation of international playtests and an esports tournament showcases its ambitious growth strategy for Indus.
