Battlegrounds Mobile India has been unbanned and is now available for download on Google Play.
Days after the developer of BGMI praised the Indian authorities for lifting the ban, BGMI has returned to Google Play India.
- BGMI is a free download from the Google Play Store.
- Due to server-related problems, it is still unable to play the action game.
- Though we are awaiting official word, this BGMI issue will be resolved soon.
d Battlegrounds Mobile India, also known as BGMI among players, is now downloadable for Android cellphones through the Google Play store. Users might not be able to access the listing directly through the app store, but if they go to the official website of BGMI and click on the Play button, they will be taken to the download page. The game is available for free download from there. BGMI isn't yet accessible on the iOS Apple App Store, although that could change in the near future.
However, it appears that gamers are still unable to play BGMI because of problems with the servers. This issue will probably be resolved quickly. Krafton has been contacted by Tips And Tech for additional information.
Days after the developer of BGMI praised the Indian authorities for lifting the ban, BGMI has returned to Google Play India. Last year, for security reasons, BGMI was taken off of the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store. Because of connections to China and similar security concerns, PUBG Mobile, the predecessor of BGMI, is still prohibited in India. The game's availability in India had also been criticized by several MPs because of the game's negative effects on children.
Additionally, it was alleged that the Indian government has set restrictions on Krafton and that BGMI's present return is conditional. First off, in order to deescalate addiction, the government has asked the game's developer to include a time limit. Second, according to reports, BGMI must modify its UI (user interface) to be suitable for Indian audiences. Fascinatingly, Krafton's BGMI was already designed with Indian users in mind before it was banned. In order to protect the data of Indian consumers, the company has also established a cooperation with Microsoft Azure.
Krafton has not confirmed these details, though the company has said it is grateful to the authorities to resume BGMI's operation in India. Krafton India CEO Sean Hyunil Sohn said in a release last week, "We are highly grateful to the Indian authorities for allowing us to resume operations of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). We would like to extend our gratitude to our Indian gaming community for their support and patience over the past few months. We are excited to announce that Battlegrounds Mobile India will be available for download soon and we cannot wait to welcome you back to our platform."
The Krafton CEO added that the company was "deeply committed" to the Indian gaming ecosystem.
BGMI's return is also a relief for many professional mobile gamers. Commenting on the return, Loco founders, Ashwin Suresh and Anirudh Pandita said, "This revival holds tremendous potential for players and the gaming industry as a whole."
Krafton also notes BGMI clocked 100 million users shortly after a year of its launch. The company said that its battle royale-style game made history by becoming the first esports event to be broadcasted on mainstream television, attracting 24 million concurrent viewers and a total of 200 million viewers.
