BGMI: Battlegrounds Mobile India , the revised version of PUBG Mobile specifically designed for the Indian market, It’s South-Korean based developer KRAFTON said in a release that “the company is highly grateful to the Indian authorities for allowing us to resume operations”. BGMI was removed from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store last year due to security reasons. Its previous iteration, PUBG Mobile, remains banned in India due to the same security issues and links to China
Latest reports stated that Krafton has to meet certain conditions laid out by the government for BGMI’s full time return. The company has been reportedly asked to offer the game with a time-limit each day for 90 days (three months). This is likely to prevent addiction to the game, especially among children. Last year, authorities were concerned about children’s mental well-being after a teenager killed his mother after she stopped him from playing BGMI.
Authorities have also reportedly asked Krafton to tweak the animations to show no blood. In the previous iteration of BGMI, Krafton changed the blood colour to green to appear less violent. Krafton has not clarified for how much play time BGMI would be available to users for each day as per authorities.
(The launched date is supposedly to be on 11th or 12th of November 2023)
