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 in just two months since its release. This follows a successful international playtest in Manila and a prestigious Google Play Award win for "Best Made in India Game 2024."

This significant achievement underscores SuperGaming's ambitious goal to establish Indus as a leading force in Indian gaming, outpacing competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest, held at the YGG Play Summit, provided valuable feedback from local esports professionals.

Further solidifying its esports aspirations, SuperGaming launched the Clutch India Movement, culminating in the Indus International Tournament. This tournament, running from October 2024 to February 2025, boasts a substantial INR 2.5 crore prize pool (approximately $31,000 USD).

Impressive Growth, Continued Expansion

While the five million downloads fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations (a common occurrence), the figures are still remarkably strong. The lower iOS download count suggests a need for further penetration into that market segment.

Despite this, SuperGaming's proactive approach—with international playtests, an esports tournament, and more—demonstrates a clear vision for Indus's future growth and potential.
