Global Gaming Giant Indus Launches with 5M Downloads, Completing Manila Playtest

Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, has achieved a significant milestone with over five million Android downloads and over 100,000 iOS downloads within two months of its launch. This success follows a Google Play Best Made in India Game 2024 award and a successful international playtest in Manila.

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

Further bolstering their esports ambitions, SuperGaming launched the Clutch India Movement, featuring the Indus International Tournament. Running from October 2024 to February 2025, this tournament offers a substantial INR 2.5 crore (approximately $31,000) prize pool.

Impressive Growth, Future Potential

While the five million downloads fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations (a common discrepancy), the figures still represent considerable success. The lower iOS download numbers suggest a need to further penetrate that market segment.

Despite this, SuperGaming's proactive approach, including international playtests and a large-scale esports tournament, demonstrates ambitious plans for Indus's future growth and development.
