Krafton's response regarding the unbanning of BGMI
In a recently leaked interview, one of Krafton’s representatives admitted that 2022 had been a very difficult year operation-wise due to the global economic depression and subsequent recession.
However, Krafton clarified via their representative that they are putting in a ton of effort to resume the game's services in India. They are doing their best to have the ban lifted and clear the existing sanctions put forward by the Indian government.
The Krafton representative further added that the ban in India had adversely affected their overall traffic, but, despite that, BGMI was able to generate positive revenue flow. Krafton’s biggest priority at the moment is to drive further growth in their PUBG global revenue.
Bottom line
The rumors surrounding BGMI's return have created a sense of anticipation in the Indian gaming community. Many are eagerly awaiting official news of the game's return, hoping to resume their gameplay and reconnect with the community. The battle royale title had become a core part of the Indian gaming scene, and its suspension left many gamers disappointed last year.
While it remains uncertain whether the game will make a return, Krafton suggests that they are working hard to resume services in India.
