Indus picks up five million downloads and concludes first international playtest in Manila

Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, has surpassed five million Android downloads and 100,000 iOS downloads within two months of its release. This follows its success at the Google Play Awards, where it won "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, challenging competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest, held during the YGG Play Summit, provided valuable feedback from international esports players.

SuperGaming, the developer, is further bolstering Indus's esports presence with the Clutch India Movement. This initiative includes the Indus International Tournament, currently running until February 2025, offering 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 occurrence), the figures still represent considerable success. The lower iOS download numbers suggest a need for further market penetration in that segment.

Despite this, SuperGaming's aggressive strategy—including international playtests and a major esports tournament—demonstrates ambitious growth plans for Indus. The company's proactive approach positions Indus for continued expansion and establishes it as a key player in the competitive mobile gaming landscape.
