BGMI not listed on Google Play Store yet, but download link is available

Android users can follow this link to download BGMI on their smartphones.
The game isn’t listed on the Play Store or App Store yet, so it won’t show up if you search for it. But it’s still possible to download the game through the link mentioned.
We tried it and the download was successful but you can’t play the game yet as the server isn’t live.
But since there’s now an official way to download the game Krafton is expected to list it on the Google Play Store very soon.

Krafton received an official nod to relaunch BGMI in India after it was banned last year due to security issues. But the comeback is more of a trial run as the government has lifted the ban for three months. During this three-month trial, the government will keep a check on issues such as user harm and addiction that BGMI has been time and again accused of in the past.

This is a 3 month trial approval of #BGMI aftr it has complied wth issues of server locations n data security etc.

We will keep a close watch on other issues of User harm, Addiction etc in next 3 months before a final decision is taken @GoI_MeitY @PMOIndia https://t.co/9SrYekrHXz

BGMI is back in India but with restrictions

BGMI is reportedly expected to come back with more changes and adjustments, such as:

Restricted playing hours.
The colour of blood in BGMI is said to be green by default as a way to reduce violent graphics in the game.

The reason behind these changes is due to multiple violent cases involving young boys associated with BGMI.

Krafton is yet to announce the official launch date for the relaunch of BGMI in India but since it’s already available to download, we’re expecting it to be available in the app stores very soon.
