During the trial period, numerous BGMI tournaments have taken place, including the prestigious LAN event BGMI Masters Series Season 2.

BGMI Successfully Completes Its Three-Month Trial Period

BGMI was one of the most popular mobile games in India. However, the government of India banned the game in July 2022, citing national security and privacy concerns. After a long wait and much anticipation, the game was finally relaunched in May 2023. The government recommended a few changes, addressing concerns related to “user harm and addiction,” to be made to the game before its relaunch . These changes included playtime limit, gore-free graphics, and some changes to the game’s servers. 

Krafton, the developer of BGMI, incorporated the recommended changes to the game and told the government that it would comply with all rules. Finally, the game was officially relaunched in the country on 29th May. However, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology of India (Meity), stated, in a tweet, that the government will closely monitor the game for “user harm, addiction, etc.” for three months, before taking the final decision for  game’s unban.

During these three months, the gaming community witnessed a series of BGMI tournaments, including the highly anticipated LAN event, BGMI Masters Series Season 2. The event attracted a massive audience, thus proving the popularity of the game in the country. Notably, this trial period did not see any bans or suspensions, providing an uninterrupted run for the players. 

BGMI’s journey through the trial period has reaffirmed Krafton’s commitment to India’s gaming ecosystem. Additionally, this outcome represents a momentous victory for the Indian esports industry. It will be interesting to see what lies ahead for the game and the community.
