Battlegrounds Mobile India, also referred to as BGMI, may have finally made its way to the Google Play store for Android smartphones, nearly 10 months after its ban in the country. Although the game's dedicated page is visible on the Play Store, users are unable to engage in gameplay.
To access the page, you can either search for the game through Google Search or visit BGMI's official website and click on the Play button. This will redirect you to the download page, where you can acquire the game at no cost.
According to an official statement from KRAFTON, "At present, the closed test track for BGMI is undergoing updates. Those who opted for a public test prior to the game's launch can expect to receive a message guiding them to the Play Store for downloading the game. However, the link will not function as the servers have been shut down. We are aware that some users who did not participate in the closed test are also encountering this message. This is a technical error that we are actively addressing.
BGMI IS BACK TO GOOGLE PLAY STORE
Gamers have the convenience of easily downloading the game, although they may encounter ongoing server issues.
Last week, Krafton announced the lifting of the ban on BGMI, a Battle Royale first-person shooter that was prohibited in India in July 2022 due to security concerns.
Expressing gratitude to the Indian authorities, Sean Hyunil Sohn, CEO of KRAFTON, Inc. India, conveyed appreciation for the resumption of BGMI operations. He also extended thanks to the Indian gaming community for their support and patience during the preceding months. Sohn expressed excitement about welcoming players back to the platform and highlighted the positive impact of gaming in fostering connections among people.

Vibhor Kukreti, Head of Government Affairs at KRAFTON, Inc. India, expressed appreciation to the authorities for allowing the restart of BGMI operations. KRAFTON, Inc. is a responsible South Korean organization that prioritizes adherence to the law and has implemented measures to ensure regulatory compliance.
