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 Google Play Best Made in India Game 2024 award win.
This significant achievement positions Indus as a leading contender in the Indian gaming market, vying for dominance against competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila YGG Play Summit playtest provided valuable feedback from international esports players.
SuperGaming, Indus's developer, has launched the Clutch India Movement, a major esports initiative culminating in the Indus International Tournament. Running from October 2024 to February 2025, this tournament boasts 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 initial ten million pre-registrations. However, pre-registration numbers often don't fully translate to actual downloads, and the lower iOS download count suggests a need for further penetration in that market segment.
Despite this, SuperGaming's swift implementation of international playtests and an esports tournament demonstrates ambitious plans for Indus's future development.
