List of all games including BGMI and Free Fire that are banned in India

The recent removal of BGMI from both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store has added it to the list of restricted games in India. The incident took the entire gaming community by surprise since the battle royale had a huge esports scene in the country.

The Indian government has been taking strict measures against games they believe violate security protocol or use third-party websites. The removal of BGMI from the virtual storefronts made it the second popular battle royale game (after Garena Free Fire) to be banned in 2022.

Everything that BGMI fans need to know about the game's status in India

For the unversed, the Government of India imposed a potential ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India on July 28 after Google and Apple delisted it from both the Play Store and App Store, respectively. Google released a statement soon after removing the app from their store, hinting at a directive from the Indian government.

Later on, it became clear that the Indian government suspended BGMI under the rules laid out in Section 69A of The Information Technology Act, 2000. The potential ban was imposed due to privacy concerns which could cause harm to the security, sovereignty, and integrity of the country. Furthermore, Krafton was alleged to have servers outside India that enabled data sourcing.

However, Krafton denied the allegations in their official statement regarding the matter. Despite this clarification from Krafton, the return of Battlegrounds Mobile India to virtual storefronts looks bleak.
