BGMI’s earlier version, PlayerUnknown’s Battleground (PUBG), was first banned by the central government in 2020 along with 117 other apps with Chinese links. In September last year, PUBG Mobile was banned along with other Chinese apps after a prolonged border standoff between the neighbours. “Battle royale games are increasingly popular in India and considering the demand for PUBG Mobile before the ban, Krafton’s adoption of an Indianized content strategy should ensure the new game’s success,” Guha added.

PUBG then had nearly 33 million users in the country and was growing fast. It was in September 2020 when the Indian government banned PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) Mobile, along with 117 Chinese applications, citing a threat to India's sovereignty, integrity and defence under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
