Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, has achieved a remarkable milestone: over five million Android downloads and over 100,000 iOS downloads within just two months of its launch. This success follows a Google Play Award win (Best Made in India Game 2024) and a successful international playtest in Manila.
This significant growth positions Indus as a strong contender in the Indian gaming market, vying for dominance against competitors like FAU-G: Domination. The Manila playtest at the YGG Play Summit provided valuable feedback and exposure, allowing prominent local esports players to experience the game firsthand.
SuperGaming, Indus's developer, has further amplified its ambitions by launching the Clutch India Movement, a major esports initiative. The centerpiece of this movement is the Indus International Tournament, a competition running from October 2024 to February 2025, boasting a substantial INR 2.5 crore (approximately $31,000 USD) prize pool.
Impressive Growth, Future Potential
While Indus's five million downloads fall slightly short of its initial ten million pre-registrations (a common occurrence), the achievement remains impressive. The lower iOS download count suggests a need to further penetrate that market segment.
Nevertheless, SuperGaming's proactive approach, including international playtests and a dedicated esports tournament, showcases its ambitious vision for Indus's future growth and development.
