Krafton’s announcement of a special Indian version means that the players can now finally breathe a sigh of relief. Additionally, the pre-registration period for Battlegrounds Mobile India kicked off on May 18th.

In recent times, there have been numerous debates surrounding the release of the title, as multiple politicians have expressed their concerns in regards to the security and privacy of the users.

Earlier in May, Ninong Ering, MLA from Pasighat West Assembly Constituency, wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah in which he requested them to ban Battlegrounds Mobile India.

According to the MLA, the game was nothing but a Chinese deception and could pose a threat to the security and privacy of the citizens.

It is not hard to see why PUBG Mobile is one of the most popular games in India, and it is highlighted by the number of pre-registrations it has achieved. A few days back, it crossed the barrier of 20 million registrations.
