PlayerUnknown¡¯s Battlegrounds aka PUBG has been running a lot of updates lately, bringing in a larger variety of content.
However, there¡¯s a tiny bit of India in the game that¡¯s probably been there since the start, in the form of a locally-made vehicle. And it's driving Indian players of the game crazy!
A tractor lying dormant about halfway down the road between the Pochinko and Farm areas on the game is apparently a Mahindra brand vehicle, even bearing the accurate 265 DI model number. Desi gamers first noticed the feature in a YouTube highlight reel of Twitch streamer chocoTaco it seems, before making their own way there to check it out. Now, Indian gamers can¡¯t stop talking about it on social media.
It¡¯s easy enough to check out for yourself too if you¡¯d like to. While PUBG is a paid-for game on PC, you can play it for free on Android and iOS.?
Many of the people posting screenshots of the behicle on Twitter have even been taking Mahindra Executive Chairman Anand Mahindra. His reaction is pleased by the recognition of course, ¡°but what on Earth is PUBG?¡± he asks. Fair enough, the guy probably has too much on his plate to pay too much attention to a game, even if it¡¯s hit 50 million downloads on smartphones.
What was nice though was a few gamers attempting to explain the mechanics of the game in tweets. He still probably has no idea guys and gals, but at least you tried.
