Battle royale fans are in deep shock as their favorite gaming title, BGMI, has been banned in the country. It arrived with the game first removed from the Google Play Store and later from the iOS App Store.

Ironically, the title had completed its first anniversary a few weeks ago.

For those unaware, its original variant, PUBG Mobile, was banned alongside 120 other Chinese applications in September 2020. The game came back in July 2021 with a new name, Battlegrounds Mobile India, with the assurance that it suits all government rules and regulations.

Krafton is trying its best to communicate with the authorities and lift the ban on the game. Players are eagerly waiting to start playing and get the ultimate survival royale experience on their devices.

Battlegrounds Mobile India was banned under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

However, the South Korean company, its official note, has assured that talks with concerned authorities are ongoing, and gamers are advised to wait for further news and updates on the matter.

The game was initially removed from the Google Play Store. Here is the official statement from Google regarding the removal of BGMI from the Play Store:
