Indus Earns 5 Million Downloads, Completes International Playtest

Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, has achieved a remarkable milestone: over five million Android downloads and more than 100,000 iOS downloads within just two months of its release. This success follows a Google Play Award win ("Best Made in India Game 2024") and a successful international playtest in Manila.

This surge in popularity is significant, particularly given SuperGaming's ambitious goal to establish Indus as a leading Indian gaming title, surpassing competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest, held at the YGG Play Summit, allowed international esports players to experience Indus firsthand.

SuperGaming's commitment extends beyond the game itself. The recently launched Clutch India Movement, a major push into esports, features the Indus International Tournament. Running from October 2024 to February 2025, this tournament boasts a substantial INR 2.5 crore prize pool (approximately $31,000 USD).

Impressive Growth, Future Potential

While the five million downloads are impressive, they fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations. However, it's important to note that pre-registrations don't always translate directly into downloads. The relatively low iOS download numbers also suggest a need to further engage that segment of the Indian gaming market.

Despite this, Indus' rapid growth and SuperGaming's proactive approach—including international playtests and an esports tournament—demonstrate significant ambition for the game's future.
