Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) is now available for play in India, as announced by Krafton, a South Korean video game developer.
The company has stated that the release of BGMI will be accompanied by the 2.5 Update, promising players a refined and immersive gaming experience.
To ensure a seamless launch, the game’s availability will be intermittent, allowing users to log in at different times.
The gaming company intends to make the game available to all users within the next 48 hours. BGMI will now be downloadable and playable on iOS devices in the country.
The Indian version of BGMI has been released.
In an effort to encourage responsible gaming, Krafton has imposed certain restrictions. Users under the age of 18 will be limited to three hours of playtime per day, while other participants can experience up to six hours of playtime per day.
In addition, parental verification and a daily spending limit for minors continue to be essential features of the game, ensuring that younger players have a safe and controlled gaming experience.
Alongside the release, the 2.5 Update adds several new features to BGMI. One of the features is the introduction of a brand-new map called Nusa, which promises novel gameplay experiences for players. In addition, the update includes engaging in-game events, weapon enhancements, and a variety of new costumes.
Significantly, PUBG, the signature game of Krafton, was prohibited by the Indian government. In response to the moratorium, the gaming company declared in May 2021 the development of BGMI, a platform specifically designed for Indian players.
BGMI was published officially on July 2, followed by an iOS release on August 18. BGMI accomplished the astounding feat of exceeding 100 million registered users within a year in a remarkable amount of time.
Citing Section 69A of the Information Technology Act of 2000, the Indian government subsequently ordered Google and Apple to remove the BGMI gaming app from their respective online stores.
