Just three days after it was made available for registration, mobile action game FAU-G has crossed the 1 million pre-registrations mark on Google Play Store.
The battle royale game comes in the wake of the ban on PUBG, another game with a similar context that enthralled gamers in the country for long.

The recent achievement was announced by FAU-G’s Bengaluru-based developer ‘nCore Games’ on Twitter. Thanking the fans for the tremendous response, the team announced that the game had already crossed 1 million pre-registrations on Google Play Store within 24 hours of going live.
“Thank you for a fantastic response! Highest number of pre-registrations in India in less than 24 hours!,” nCore Games wrote on Twitter.
Pre-registrations allow interested users to keep a track of an upcoming app on the Google Play Store. For instance, those who have pre-registered for FAU-G will receive a push notification on their devices as soon as the game is rolled out on Android. The exact date for this, and whether it will roll out on iOS or not, is yet unknown.

FAU-G was initially expected to launch in October, following the ban on PUBG by the Indian government among several other Chinese apps. The game was supposed to be an alternative for the latter with an Indian context to it. Since then, the launch has been postponed continuously but seems to be close now.
Meanwhile, PUBG is also looking to mark a re-entry in India and seems all set to do so in the coming week. The new, tweaked version of the game will be called PUBG Mobile India, which is also the name of the newly registered company. PUBG Mobile India is up for pre-registrations too.
