PUBG Mobile was banned by the Government of India on September 2, 2020. Within ten months, Krafton relaunched the game as Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). Now, BGMI is removed from Google Play store and Apple App store.
The hugely popular Battlegrounds Mobile India smartphone game has been banned in India as both Google and Apple have removed the BGMI game from their respective app stores. Having said that, if you already have the game installed on your smartphone then you will still be able to play the BGMI game till the time the government forces Krafton– the developer– to shut it down entirely.
The government hasn’t responded officially as to why the game is being banned in India. However, Google India officially confirmed that they have received an order from the government to remove the BGMI game. “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 Google India.
