BGMI unbanned: Servers shut, game not available, clarifies Krafton
Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), the highly popular battle royale mobile game in the country, is now available for download on Google Play Store. Here's how you can download it.
FollowKrafton Inc announced the comeback of its Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) in India last week. The game returned back to the country almost after a year-long ban by the Indian government in July 2022. While the news is surely an exciting one for the game lovers, sadly their wait to finally play the multiplayer game is not over yet.
An official statement from KRAFTON said: “Currently, the closed test track for BGMI is updated. Those who opted for a public test for the game before its launch are expected to get a message which takes them to play store for downloading the game. However, the link wont work and the game cannot be downloaded as the servers have been shut. We also understand that some other users who had not opted for the closed test are also getting this message. This is a technical error and we are working on resolving it.”

The game will be subject to a rigorous 90-day monitoring period before a decision is reached, according to the Indian government. According to a tweet from Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, "This is a 3 month trial approval of #BGMI after it has complied with issues of server locations and data security etc."
