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 esports title, rivaling games 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 Indus's five million downloads are impressive, they fall slightly short of the ten million pre-registrations. However, pre-registrations often don't fully translate into downloads. The lower iOS download count suggests a need for further penetration in that market segment.
Despite this, SuperGaming's swift implementation of international playtests and an esports tournament demonstrates ambitious growth plans for Indus.
