PUBG to return with BGMI: Govt could lift the ban on Krafton

The mobile game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) is set to rule the mobile screens of young and interested players in India after the government of India lifts its ban on it at the end of 2022.

Krafton's plans are known to a few BGMI players who still have access to the game but not to the updates, as well as YouTubers.

Krafton is the official publisher of the games PUBG and BGMI. The government banned the game PUBG, but BGMI was offloaded from service providers Google and Apple.


The hint people took as a lifting of the ban in the days to come was when Krafton released a new BGMI player support channel on YouTube with numerous videos on the company website. The fans and players have received this well, and many look forward to officially playing the game in India.

Four videos have been published on YouTube to address frequently asked questions. Questions related to the banning of accounts are also addressed, along with payments and benefits of "Prime" and "Prime Plus." The videos are "user guides" on BGMI and also feature on the BGMI website.

Krafton has worked on bringing the game back to India and to the app stores from where it was delisted due to the ban on PUBG. India has not banned BGMI, as people still have access to the games. The updates were blocked as the app platforms like Google and Apple had delisted the games despite no instruction from the government. PUBG is expected to be published through another portal as Krafton mulls the lifting of the ban at year's end.
