Back in 2020, the Indian government banned the uber-popular mobile title PUBG Mobile due to political tensions between China and India. Krafton, the developing company behind the game, took over a year but it did bring an India-exclusive alternative to PUBG Mobile in the form of Battleground Mobile India (BGMI). Now, being less than a year old, BGMI has garnered over 100 million registered users in the country. Check out the details right below.
Krafton, after much anticipation, released BGMI for Android on July 2 and on August 18 for iOS, 2021. Now, ahead of its first birthday, which is tomorrow, Krafton announced that it has surpassed the 100 million mark for the game’s total registered users.
From now on, Krafton aims to invest more to organize 4 professional and semi-professional BGMI-focused tournaments in India. These events will feature cash prizes for players of Rs 6 crores. In addition, they will also provide a competitive platform for pro mobile gamers in India to engage in fast-paced battle royale action.
