Will BGMI be unbanned in India? Publisher Krafton has created a new YouTube channel and has added four new tutorial videos, suggesting the game could make a return.
Several users have come across the in-game events section which mentioned a user guide. This contains the same tutorials which were updated on the game's official website. When users went through the user guide in the events section, they are redirected to the Player Support Channel on YouTube.
BGMI's YouTube support page has four videos and these are described as follows:
It isn't clear why these videos have been added on the site and in-game. But it sure has caught the attention of the gaming market and rumours have started flowing about the game's return. To recall, the Indian government issued orders to remove BGMI from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. This was reflected on July 28th. RTI confirmed that the game was banned by MeitY as per the requests made by MHA.
However, the game is still playable for those who have installed it but it isn't receiving any updates. Recently, popular BGMI players Saumraj and AKop tipped that the game will be returning to India with a new publisher in 2023. However, on the flip side, content creators like Scout0P and Dynamo in the community claim that they are not hopeful about the game's comeback in the near future.
Anuj Tandon, Krafton's Indian executive of Corporate Development and Investments, left his position this week. These incidents gradually fade the game's return to the country.
