BGMI’s Conditional Return
The return of Battlegrounds Mobile India comes with certain conditions set by the Government of India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY). This initial phase will serve as a three-month trial approval period during which the government will closely monitor the game’s operations.
Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Union Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, Skill Development, Electronics & Technology, disclosed that the three-month period will determine whether the game can make a permanent comeback.
This trial phase offers players the opportunity to experience new content, including features from the global variant, PUBG Mobile.

Reports also suggest that the game might witness a reduction in gore and blood following its unban.
