BGMI was delisted from the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, causing a huge storm on social media as the game has a large player base in the country, with over 100 million registered users. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Has BGMI been banned in India?" comment="subhead" text="Has BGMI been banned in India?">Has BGMI been banned in India?</cmsannotation> Google and Apple have confirmed that BGMI was delisted from their stores in accordance with an order from the Indian government. "On receipt of the order, following the established process, we have notified the affected developer and have blocked access to the app that remained available on the Play Store in India," said a Google spokesperson. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Why was BGMI banned in India?" comment="subhead" text="Why was BGMI banned in India?">Why was BGMI banned in India?</cmsannotation> While the Indian government has not revealed why it has banned BGMI, a <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/india/india-used-it-law-takedown-provision-block-krafton-game-source-2022-07-29/">report</a> by Reuters has revealed that the government has banned BGMI under Section 69A of the IT Act, the same provision used to ban PUBG Mobile. The Section 69A empowers the government to block public access to websites and apps in the interest of national security. Even before its release, BGMI had come under criticism after it was found <a href="https://in.ign.com/battlegrounds-mobile-india/161057/news/battlegrounds-mobile-india-data-china-server-android-apk-download">sharing data</a> with Chinese servers. Krafton, the game developer, had <a href="https://in.ign.com/battlegrounds-mobile-india/161168/news/battlegrounds-mobile-india-data-china-server-krafton-fix">claimed</a> that it was aware of the issue and was working on resolving it. Chinese tech giant Tencent also has a 13.5% stake in Krafton. Tencent was the developer of PUBG Mobile, first released in China. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Can you still play BGMI in India?" comment="subhead" text="Can you still play BGMI in India?">Can you still play BGMI in India?</cmsannotation> While BGMI has been delisted from the Play Store and the App Store, users who already have the game on their devices can still play it. Some users have reported that they have faced server issues, but it looks like the game is mostly working fine. You should be able to play the game as long as the servers are live. Krafton is reportedly trying to resolve the issue with the government, so you should be able to play the game for some time without any issues. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Will BGMI be unbanned in India?" comment="subhead" text="Will BGMI be unbanned in India?">Will BGMI be unbanned in India?</cmsannotation> As the government has not released a statement on the ban, it’s hard to tell if it is a permanent ban or just a temporary suspension to ensure compliance with Indian laws. However, if we remember the 2020 ban on PUBG Mobile, the government did not revoke the ban. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="The BGMI eSports scene in India" comment="subhead" text="The BGMI eSports scene in India">The BGMI eSports scene in India</cmsannotation> BGMI was emerging as a popular eSports game in India, with groups like Nodwin Gaming, Elo Sports, and Red Bull conducting tournaments with huge rewards.

South Korean game developer Krafton's popular game <keyword id="11197652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="battlegrounds-mobile-india" source="Orion">Battlegrounds Mobile India</keyword> (<keyword id="11923507" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bgmi" source="Orion">BGMI</keyword>) on Tuesday announced a new partnership with game developer <keyword id="2850099" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="riot-games" source="Orion">Riot Games</keyword> to bring characters, items, as well as locations from its upcoming series Arcane into BGMI. The updates will begin releasing in Mid-November as part of its Version 1.7 update with an aim to give players unique new experiences in one of Riot's first partnerships to bring the world of League of Legends to more players worldwide. "In each game update, BGMI provides new, interesting, and engaging content to its players, through partnerships with key entertainment properties in movies and gaming as well as collaborations with musicians, celebrities and more," the firm said in a statement. This is the first partnership between BGMI and Riot Games and will also bring new game areas and gameplay modes inspired by Arcane to the world of BGMI. Meanwhile, Krafton on Monday announced that it has removed 25 lakh accounts in just over a month to eradicate cheating on Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). "The company has cleaned out most of the cheaters in the game, making BGMI a much more fun experience, and will continue to take whatever step is necessary to keep BGMI fair and fun," the firm noted. Since the last announcement, between October 1 and November 10, Krafton has banned 25,19,692 accounts permanently and 7,06,319 temporarily.

PUBG Mobile Lite was popular among players with low-end devices as it was designed to run smoothly on devices with less powerful hardware. The poll, which has been removed now had the following options – <ul><li>I can’t play BGMI on my low-end device. </li><li>I can play BGMI, but I’ll have better frame rates and performance in the Lite version on my device. </li><li>I spent money on the LITE version and want to transfer my data/inventory. </li><li>I like the maps and skins in the LITE version. </li></ul>PUBG Mobile players were able to transfer their data, including skins purchased by them to BGMI. PUBG Mobile Lite users haven’t been able to do so and will have to wait for the BGMI Lite version to launch. At the time the image was taken, the first option that users cannot play BGMI on their device had the most votes. Krafton has not made any announcements regarding the Lite version of Battlegrounds Mobile India. However, this poll on the official Discord server indicates that they are considering launching the game soon. Gamers like Maxtern have <a href="https://twitter.com/RealMaxtern/status/1447134160850616329">hinted</a> that the BGMI Lite version is in the works already and may be launched soon.
