The companies delisted the game following the orders of the Indian government, which suspected a potential privacy breach that was harmful to India's security and sovereignty. While many BGMI streamers have already shifted their focus to other games, many gamers were curious to know if they could play the title. BGMI s in-game servers are still active weeks after removal from Google Play Store and Apple App Store Within a year of its release, Battlegrounds Mobile India emerged as a crowd-favorite game in India as millions thronged to it daily to experience the thrill of the BR mode. However, its sudden removal from the virtual stores has dented the rise of esports in the country. It has been more than three weeks since the incident occurred, and various statements from Krafton, MEITY, and BGMI influencers have surfaced online. However, iOS and Android users who already had the game installed on their phones when the suspension occurred can still log in and enjoy playing it without obstructions. This is because the game's servers are still active. This has resulted in multiple top-tier scrims and tournaments being organized online. Krafton s statements regarding BGMI ban Krafton Inc. has been toiling incessantly to get Battlegrounds Mobile India back to the virtual stores.
