Popular mobile game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), previously banned by the Indian government, will soon be relaunched after a 90-day trial approval period. Lets know more about this latest tech news!
The popular mobile game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) is set to be relaunched soon, following its previous ban by the Indian government.
Krafton, publisher of BGMI, expressed gratitude to Indian authorities for allowing the game's operations to restart & stated their commitment to complying with Indian laws.
The ban has been lifted for a trial period of 90 days, during which the government will assess compliance with Indian laws and decide whether to permanently lift or keep it.
Krafton aims to invest in the Indian gaming industry, collaborate with local developers, & promote the use of advanced technologies to contribute to the Indian gaming ecosystem.
The three-month trial approval period will evaluate issues such as server locations, data security, user harm, and addiction before making a final decision.
Prior to the ban, the earlier version of the game, PlayerUnknown's Battleground (PUBG), had around 33 million users in India.
PUBG Studios and Krafton registered PUBG India Private Ltd in November 2020 to relaunch PUBG Mobile in India, following the initial ban.
Nazara Technologies expressed delight at BGMI's return and invests $28 million in Nodwin Gaming, its subsidiary organizing esports tournaments.
Nodwin Gaming previously hosted competitions for PUBG and BGMI before the ban. We are hopeful to see many more esports tournaments going forward & vibrant growth!
