PUBG Mobile India launch update: Know Battlegrounds Mobile India pre-registration details

PUBG Mobile India is all set to be relaunched in India in its new avatar - Battlegrounds Mobile India. The excitement among fans of the battle royale gamers is palpable and they are awaiting the exact launch date which could be anytime this month or next. Several reports surfaced claiming that the company is gearing up to launch the Battlegrounds Mobile India game in June.

PUBG Mobile caster and influencer, Ocean Sharma, told SportsKeeda that Battlegrounds Mobile could be launched in India in June. Sharma asserted that the new game trailer would hit the Internet by May 31 but prefer to remain silent on the date of the launch of Battlegrounds Mobile India.

“As I previously stated, there will be two major announcements in May, one of which has been made today. Also, if this was just a teaser, the trailer could arrive by the end of the month if everything goes according to plan. Because this was only a baby step, the game could be available by June,” the website quoted Sharma as saying.

So if Battlegrounds Mobile India is actually going to be launched in June, the pre-registrations could be expected to open atleast a week or so before.

PUBG Mobile India was available on both Android and iOS. Hence, if the company follows a similar trend, Battlegrounds Mobile India would also be available on both platforms. Hence, we could expect the pre-registration to be available for both Android and iOS users.

PUBG Mobile India has been redesigned specifically for the Indian audience with an India-centric logo and tricolour hues.

The battle royale game is expected to be similar to the original PUBG Mobile in most aspects. However, a little change here and there in the Indian version of the game can't be ruled out. Battlegrounds Mobile India shared a poster of the likely Ban Tai map location from Sanhok – one of the 4×4 maps available in-game. The map Sanhok was added to PUBG Mobile in September 2018 and is now set to be a part of Battlegrounds Mobile India.

The map is relatively small when compared to the original Erangel and Miramar maps, but bigger than some other recent maps like Livik. Battlegrounds Mobile India will be up for pre-registration before it launches for the masses.

Battlegrounds Mobile India will have restrictions for children and teenagers. Players below 18 years of age will have new restrictions in Battlegrounds Mobile India and will need to register for the game with a phone number that belongs to their parents or guardian.

The policy also mentions that parents or guardians who feel that their child has provided personal information without their consent can contact the developers and request for the information to be deleted from the database. Furthermore, players below the age of 18 will only be able to access the title for a maximum of three hours every day. These players will also not be able to spend over Rs 7,000 per day for in-app purchases. 

According to Krafton, Battlegrounds Mobile India will release will come loaded with exclusive in-game events like outfits and features. The new game will have its own esports ecosystem with tournaments and leagues. 

It may be recalled that Indian government had banned PUBG Mobile India on Septemebr 2, 2020, due to data privacy concerns under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act.
