Popular battle royale game PlayerUnknown’s BattleGrounds, aka PUBG, has been banned in Pakistan on the grounds of addictive nature of the game that is detrimental to the player’s health. The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) confirmed the temporary ban on PUBG Mobile via a Twitter post.
“In view of complaints received from different segments of society, PTA has decided to temporarily suspend the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (PUBG) game,” PTA said via a Twitter post attached with a press release.
