Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, has surpassed five million Android downloads and 100,000 iOS downloads within 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.
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.
Furthermore, SuperGaming launched the Clutch India Movement, an esports initiative featuring the Indus International Tournament. Running from October 2024 to February 2025, this tournament boasts a ₹2.5 crore (approximately $31,000 USD) prize pool.
Significant Achievement, Further Growth Expected
While impressive, the five million downloads fall slightly short of the ten million pre-registrations. However, pre-registration numbers often don't fully translate to actual downloads. The lower iOS download count also suggests a need to further penetrate that market segment.
Despite this, the rapid progression with international playtests, an esports tournament, and other initiatives demonstrates SuperGaming's ambitious vision for Indus's future.
