Indus Surges Past Five Million Downloads With Manila Playtest Triumph

Indus, the Indian-made battle royale game, has achieved a significant milestone with over five million Android downloads and 100,000 iOS downloads just two months after its release. This success follows a Google Play Best Made in India Game 2024 award and a successful international playtest in Manila.

SuperGaming, the developer, aims to establish Indus as a leading Indian gaming title, surpassing competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest at the YGG Play Summit provided valuable feedback from international esports players.

Further bolstering its esports ambitions, SuperGaming launched the Clutch India Movement, featuring the Indus International Tournament. This tournament, running from October 2024 to February 2025, offers a substantial INR 2.5 crore (approximately $31,000) prize pool.

Impressive Growth, Future 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 perfectly translate to actual downloads, and the lower iOS numbers suggest a need to further engage that segment of the Indian market.

Despite this, SuperGaming's proactive approach—with international playtests and an esports tournament—demonstrates its ambitious vision for Indus's growth. For players seeking competitive multiplayer experiences, explore our curated lists of top 25 multiplayer games for both Android and iOS.
