“After a staggered rollout that began on May 29, the game is now playable for all users,” Krafton said.

Krafton has rolled out the BGMI game with the 2.5 update which includes a brand-new map — Nusa, in-game events, weapon upgrades, and new skins.

Krafton said the playtime for users under 18 will be three hours whereas for the rest of the players will be six hours daily, plus, parental verification and daily spending limit for minors continue to be a part of the game.

The Indian government first banned Krafton’s PUBG in the country. Krafton later announced the launch of the BGMI game in May 2021.

Indian government then ordered Google and Apple to block the BGMI gaming app from their online stores under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

Meanwhile, Krafton has announced its esports YouTube channel and Instagram page for the country.

Called Krafton India Esports, the channel is aimed at fostering the growth of the esports ecosystem in the country.
