- Krafton has restricted playtime for users under 18 to three hours daily, and for everyone else it’s six hours.
- BGMI also comes with parental controls and spending limits for minors.
BGMI fans who have been waiting to get their hands on the battle royale can finally start playing the game. All you have to do is head to the Google Play Store and download the game on your Android devices.
Just a week ago, Krafton announced that it has received the nod to re-launch BGMI in India. The mobile game had been banned in India last year by the government due to security reasons. It was also linked with several incidents involving young boys who were reportedly acting out due to the influence of violence in BGMI.
Although back, BGMI’s return is more of a test bed for Krafton as the ban has been lifted for three months. The government will keep a check on BGMI during these three months, and see if there are any issues such as user harm and addiction.
