It has been a long time since we have seen any professional Battlegrounds Mobile India ( Formerly PUBG Mobile) player in action. It has been more than eight months since the ban of the game by the Government of India.
Recently, Krafton has announced the launch of BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA, an exclusive game for Indian players. The game will replace the previously banned PUBG Mobile.
