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 its win at the Google Play Best Made in India Game 2024 awards and a successful international playtest in Manila.
This significant achievement positions Indus as a leading contender in the Indian gaming market, challenging established competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest, held at the YGG Play Summit, gave international esports players a chance to experience Indus firsthand.
SuperGaming, the developer behind Indus, has further solidified its esports ambitions with the launch of the Clutch India Movement. This initiative features the Indus International Tournament, currently underway and scheduled to conclude in February 2025, boasting a prize pool of INR 2.5 crores (approximately $31,000).
Impressive Growth, Further Potential
While Indus's five million downloads are noteworthy, they fall slightly short of the ten million pre-registrations. However, pre-registrations rarely translate directly to downloads. The lower iOS download numbers also suggest a need to further penetrate that market segment.
Despite this, SuperGaming's rapid progression with international playtests and an esports tournament demonstrates ambitious growth plans for Indus.
