Its removal has become a hot topic in the community, with players talking over its future as well as the substitute. Four days following its removal from app stores, BGMI's servers are still available to gamers. This is the only positive development for the fan base, other than the developers' response that they are in discussions with the appropriate authorities to address the issue.

While players had little to no idea about its removal, things soon went down the hill as it was delisted from the App Store as well. Amid growing speculation about the ban, Google essentially confirmed the game's ban. This sent the fan base into a frenzy just as Krafton had released the battle royale title exclusively for the Indian region over a year back. As stated earlier, Battlegrounds Mobile India is still playable by users who had the title previously installed on their devices before its removal from the store. Players haven't reported any outages except in the case of the UC purchase since it was taken down. In-game purchases have been restriced (Image via Sportskeeda) Users attempting to purchase UC in the game are facing an error message since the title is no longer available in the store. The Indian government has banned BGMI by invoking its powers under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act of 2000. It is the same section under which the authorities suspended PUBG Mobile in 2020, and Free Fire in 2022. This sudden ban has severely impacted professional players, content creators, and other stakeholders who are heavily invested in the game. However, it is unclear what the holds in the game's future. In a recent development, Krafton released a statement that ignited a sense of hope in the community. Sean Hyunil Sohn, CEO of the company, affirmed that Krafton is committed to the Indian market and has always been compliant with data protection laws in the country. Rushindra.eth@RushindraSinhaOfficial Statement from Krafton61348Official Statement from Krafton https://t.co/f7Kn9nwiBP He requested that players wait to hear from Krafton, who will keep them informed of any additional developments. If talks between the government and the developers end well, the game might soon come back to the country, while it could take a turn for the worse in another case.

Hence, players will find it slightly easier to make the switch for the time being. Poll : 0 votes Edited by Abu Amjad Khan × Feedback Thank You!
