Indus, the Indian-made battle royale shooter, has achieved a remarkable milestone: over five million Android downloads and 100,000 iOS downloads within just two months of its release. This success follows a Google Play Award win ("Best Made in India Game 2024") and a successful international playtest in Manila.

This significant achievement 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, the developer behind Indus, has even bigger plans. Their recently launched "Clutch India Movement" is a major push into the esports arena, starting with the Indus International Tournament. Running from October 2024 to February 2025, this tournament boasts a substantial INR 2.5 crore prize pool (approximately $31,000 USD).

Impressive Growth, Continued Expansion

While the five million downloads fall slightly short of the initial ten million pre-registrations (a common occurrence), the numbers are still highly impressive. The lower iOS download count suggests SuperGaming needs to further penetrate that market segment.

Despite this, SuperGaming's aggressive strategy—including international playtests and a large-scale esports tournament—demonstrates their ambitious vision for Indus's future growth.
