After getting banned in June earlier this year over cybersecurity concerns, PUBG Mobile is planning its return to the country and was in talks with global cloud service providers.
PUBG Corp has been looking to strike a deal with a cloud service provider to store Indian users’ data within the country, thus allaying the centre’s concerns about user data residency and security.
Now, Krafton, the parent firm of PUBG Corporation, has announced that it has signed a deal with Microsoft and will be using Microsoft Azure to host its portfolio of multi-platform products.
Krafton said that the deal will include “products directly operated by the company and its subsidiaries, including PUBG Corporation’s multiplayer battle royale Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) on PC and consoles, in addition to PUBG Mobile”.
Azure is Microsoft’s public cloud computing service that help game creators to build, run, and grow their games on a global scale.
