The revelation comes in the wake of escalating hostilities between India and China, two nuclear-armed neighbours who have been at odds particularly since fatal clashes along their shared Himalayan border in 2020. In response, India banned hundreds of China-linked applications, including PUBG and TikTok, which both claimed India as their most significant international user base.
Only Krafton's PUBG, which had its appearance entirely changed, was one of the hundreds of applications that New Delhi had banned in the nation. When BGMI returned to India last year, its creator, Krafton, declared that it had broken relations with Tencent, a Chinese company, and that Indian customers' data would be protected. Additionally, the business has a deal with Microsoft to host BGMI on Azure. Microsoft's public cloud computing solution, Azure, enables game developers to construct, run, and expand their games on a worldwide basis.
