BGMI 2.3 update APK release date on internet is fake. Here's why

Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) made its debut in the Indian market in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and within a year of its initial release, the game leapfrogged other titles to become one of the most popular battle royale titles available for mobile gamers. Over time, it has also become a pillar of growth for Indian esports.

However, on July 28, 2022, Battlegrounds Mobile India was removed from Google and Apple's virtual stores, appalling everyone in the gaming community. The game was revoked following orders from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), which found the app responsible for user data privacy breaches.

The incident resulted in no new updates being introduced in the game. However, several third-party websites and popular YouTubers have been claiming the release of the game's 2.3 update. Players across the country are eagerly awaiting Krafton's announcement of the official release date for the forthcoming update.

No official announcement made by Krafton regarding the release date of the BGMI 2.3 update

As mentioned earlier, many popular YouTubers as well as third-party websites claim to have information regarding the release date of the forthcoming 2.3 update in BGMI. Some have even gone a step further by mentioning the release date in their videos/articles. However, Krafton is yet to make any official announcement regarding the matter.

Hence, gamers of the BR title must realize that the release date of the upcoming update in the Indian variant available on the internet is unauthentic until Krafton makes an official announcement.

However, since Krafton India and MeitY are yet to solve various prevailing issues, there is a high chance that the upcoming update might not be introduced in Battlegrounds Mobile India altogether. To experience the features of the upcoming update, Indian gamers might have to wait for the title to be unbanned.

It remains to be seen when the game's developers and MeitY can settle the ongoing issues and once again make the game available in virtual stores.
