The Indian PUBG Mobile variant registered over 50 million downloads on the Google Play Store and also revitalized the esports scene in India with tournaments like BGIS, BMPS, BMOC, and others. The Krafton-developed battle royale title had also consistently received updates synchronized with PUBG Mobile. However, in July 2022, the Government of India's MeitY directed Apple and Google to remove Battlegrounds Mobile India from their application stores, and ever since, BGMI's future in India has been subject to uncertainty. Many Battlegrounds Mobile India fans are confused regarding the release of the new update as their beloved game didn't receive the 2.2 patch like PUBG Mobile. Moreover, numerous claims regarding Battlegrounds Mobile India 2.2 update links have further added to the confusion. BGMI developer Krafton has neither confirmed nor released Android update Plenty of fake download links for Battlegrounds Mobile India 2.2 update have been spotted by the fans online (Image via Twitter) Many fans have come across download links for Battlegrounds Mobile India 2.2 on the internet. However, such links are fake and unauthorized, as Krafton hasn't made any announcements regarding the rollout of an update on Android. One should avoid unofficial download links as they provide malware instead of new in-game content. Even if such links happen to work, they are more than likely to get Battlegrounds Mobile India users suspended. Hence, it is essential to avoid any download link for Battlegrounds Mobile India on Android unless it is official or approved by Krafton. Why did Battlegrounds Mobile India not receive any update BGMI is unlikely to get an update unless it makes a return in the Indian market (Image via Sportskeeda) It is not a brainer to understand that Battlegrounds Mobile India 2.2 patch update didn't get a green signal because of the ban on the game. As mentioned in its official statement, Krafton focused on communicating with the government authorities and getting the game unbanned. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post However, after confirmation from the government authorities regarding the meeting with Krafton, it became clear that BGMI might not get a return date anytime soon. Hence, due to the uncertainty around its unban date, Battlegrounds Mobile India didn't get any update on iOS or Android. What was the reason behind the ban on Indian PUBG Mobile View this post on Instagram Instagram Post Krafton launched Battlegrounds Mobile India as a rebranded game, which served as an India-specific alternative to PUBG Mobile. In March 2022, MeitY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology) told the Telangana High Court that BGMI and PUBG Mobile are different games. Hence, the ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India was different from PUBG Mobile. View this post on Instagram Instagram Post However, it was a coincidence that Battlegrounds Mobile India received a ban for similar reasons given by MeitY after banning PUBG Mobile. After government authorities responded to an RTI appeal, it became clear that BGMI received a ban due to national security and user privacy concerns. Moreover, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) had requested the ban. × Rate this story! Thank You! LIVE POLL Q. 0 votes so far Edited by R.
