Indus' Download Surge in Millions, Successful Manila Playtest Debut

Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, has surpassed five million Android downloads and 100,000 iOS downloads within just two months of its release. This follows a successful international playtest in Manila and a Google Play Best Made in India Game 2024 award win.

This significant achievement positions Indus as a leading contender in the Indian gaming market, challenging competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila YGG Play Summit playtest provided valuable feedback from international esports players.

SuperGaming, Indus' developer, has also launched the Clutch India Movement, a major push into esports. The centerpiece is the Indus International Tournament, running from October 2024 to February 2025, boasting a ₹2.5 crore (approximately $31,000) prize pool.

Impressive Growth, Further Potential

While the five million downloads are impressive, they fall slightly short of the ten million pre-registrations. However, pre-registrations often don't fully translate to downloads. The lower iOS download numbers also suggest a need to further penetrate that market segment.

Despite this, SuperGaming's rapid deployment of international playtests and an esports tournament showcases their ambitious vision for Indus' growth.
