BGMI server down: The notice, when the server will come back online, and more

The servers of Krafton’s most popular battle royale title, BGMI, have been down since yesterday morning. Upon launching the game, players are being greeted with a message stating that the BGMI servers will be temporarily unavailable. In it, the developers express their commitment to enhancing the player experience and are diligently working on providing a more seamless gameplay environment. This message has also sparked speculation about the direct launch of the highly anticipated 2.6 update of the game.

The message that players receive upon launching the game now says that the BGMI servers are yet to go online. Krafton has requested that gamers keep an eye on their official page for further updates about the game’s availability.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is expected to reappear on the devices of gaming enthusiasts in India by May 20, 2023. However, Krafton has not revealed a date or time yet. All the gaming community seems to know so far comes from Krafton’s official statement, in which they have expressed gratitude to Indian authorities for the unban of the game.

Following the unban of Battlegrounds Mobile India, the Government of India issued an official statement outlining their plan to monitor the game and its impact on the youth for a period of three months. There have also been reports suggesting that Krafton is considering implementing certain changes in the game to maintain its unban status in India.

Battleground Mobile India was a customized version of PUBG specially crafted by Krafton for an Indian audience. This game was subject to the initial wave of Chinese app bans in India and then underwent some changes in compliance with the rules and regulations of the country. However, it was banned once again due to security concerns.

Now, after a wait of nearly a year, the battle royale title is probably coming back to India. You can also check out some games you can try before BGMI unban in India.
