BGMI Launches on Android and iPhone

Battlegrounds Mobile India, also known as BGMI, is a BR mobile game exclusive to India that was developed by Krafton and released on July 2, 2021. The game’s esports tournament was the first to be televised in India. It was a massive success and created history as a result.

Under Section 69A of the IT Act, the Indian government blocked the game from the Play Store and App Store on July 28, 2022. Since then, numerous Internet rumours speculating the game’s relaunch date had circulated, boosting the hopes of Indian gamers. Following a 10-month dispute, Krafton announced on May 19, 2023 that BGMI will be relaunched for a three-month trial period.

Following the announcement of the game’s relaunch, the server fell offline, rendering the game unplayable. An announcement was made in-game earlier today stating that existing Android users will be able to preload BGMI beginning today, May 27, on Google Play Store. You can view the announcement in the excerpt provided below:

According to the announcement, the game has returned to the Google Play Store and is available for download for those who had it installed previously (prior to the prohibition). However, iOS and new Android users will be able to download the game beginning on May 29. As stated in the announcement, BGMI will be accessible to all users beginning on May 29.

What Novelty Does Krafton Bring to BGMI?

According to a report on News18, Krafton has been asked to make several modifications before the BGMI prohibition can be lifted. Krafton confirmed that it has stated that numerous procedures have been implemented to ensure compliance with all Indian regulations. Here are a few items that may be new or modified when the game is released:

All participants under the age of 18 must register with a parent or guardian for OTP Authentication. The child will be allowed to play the game once they receive an OTP to their registered phone number.

  • Breaktime Reminders: Players will receive frequent break time reminder notifications.
  • A strict playtime is enforced to ensure that individuals under the age of 18 do not engage for longer than three hours per day.
  • Daily Spend Limits: A daily purchase cap of Rs 7,000 in-game that prevents players from overspending and abusing the game.
  • No Blood: Reduced violence, nudity, and carnage, and imposed language restrictions to maintain order.
