Is BGMI a game? Following a government order, the game was removed from the Android and App Stores. BGMI was abruptly removed from the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store for Android yesterday. The game was initially taken down from the Play Store but remained in the App Store before disappearing from that store later. When contacted Krafton for a response regarding this matter, the company said that it was looking into the removal of the game and would have more to say once it had more detailed information.
Although the ban is suspected, the reason the apps were removed is still unknown. The removal of the app from the Play store is a result of the government directive, according to a statement released by Google. They also mentioned that they had contacted Krafton regarding the removal of the game, but at this time Krafton is requesting clarification from Google. Follow For More Updates at Worldrapiddnews.com
After being removed from the App Store and Play Store, is BGMI still playable?
Following a government directive, BGMI was removed from the Play Store and App Store on Thursday. For those who installed the game before this removal took place, it is still playable. The game can be played without any problems if it is installed on your device. All of the game’s features, including new modes and maps, are currently operational. The game is playable for current users up until Krafton decides to stop providing BGIMI’s services in India.

In India, BGMI is arguably one of the most popular Battle Royale games, and it is the most popular sport. With Godwin’s Masters Series, Battleground has recently even appeared on television, and the app has more than 100 million users. Due to the game’s unprecedented popularity, its ban would have a negative impact on the players, businesses, and people currently engaged in the Battleground community. The government has not yet made an official announcement that the game is forbidden.

It is clear that BGMI is instrumental in the expansion of Esports in India. When the game is prohibited, everything turns to veins. According to a few reports, Krafton will reportedly meet with MeitY officials to discuss this matter; the outcome of this meeting will determine the future of the game in the nation. All we can do is cross our fingers and anticipate a successful outcome.
BGMI is forbidden in India for unspecified reasons.

The creator of BGMI, Krafton, confirmed the news and stated, “We are clarifying how BGMI was removed from Google Play Store and the App store and will let you know once we get specific information.” According to Google’s representatives, the firm was given a formal order by the Indian government to remove Battleground from the store. “Upon receipt of the order, following the established process, we have notified the affected developer and have blocked access to the app that was still available on the Play Store in India,” the company said.
For those who already have the game downloaded to their devices, there is still time since they can still access the BGMI servers and play a bunch of Team Death Matches before the game completely vanishes into thin air. The reason for the new (soft) ban is still unknown, and we are awaiting an official statement from either the government of India or Krafton Inc. (or comes backs with a bang).

For those who aren’t aware (which is highly unlikely), BGMI was created especially for India after its international counterpart, PUBG Mobile, was prohibited. Along with a number of other apps and games with Chinese roots, PUBG Mobile was outlawed because it was allegedly sending user data over Chinese servers and endangering national security. Following a number of discussions, negotiations, and other events, the developers were able to (sort of) smuggle in a game that was essentially the same but had a different name.
This latest action follows a recent incident in Lucknow where a 16-year-old boy is accused of shooting and killing his mother during a dispute over PUBG/BGMI. Discussions about the BGMI ban also began to surface as soon as the issue was brought up in the Rajya Sabha. You can visit our earlier coverage of this incident to read more about it.
