PUBG Mobile India Avatar Battlegrounds Registrations Start May 18

Battlegrounds Mobile India will be up for pre-registrations from May 18 via the Google Play store. The news was shared by the developer Friday on its website. The Indian version of PUBG Mobile that was banned in the country back in September 2020, Battlegrounds Mobile India has been developed by South Korean video game developer Krafton and was announced last week with its official name and a new privacy policy. While we've finally got a pre-registration date, there is no release date for the game yet.

krafton has announced through a post on its website that Battlegrounds Mobile India will be up for pre-registrations from May 18 via the Google Play store. The developer also shared that those who pre-register will get specific rewards that can be claimed when the game officially launches. As mentioned, Krafton has still not shared a release date for the game. It did, however, tease one of the maps that will be present in the game – what appears to be the popular 4x4 map from PUBG Mobile – Sanhok. Though, it may not be called Sanhok. 

Last week, Battleground Mobile India was made official by Crafton and came with an updated privacy policy. According to the policy, players under the age of 18 must obtain consent from their parent's parents to be able to play the game. Parents or guardians who believe that their child has provided personal information without their consent can contact the developers and request the information to be removed from the system.

Battleground Mobile India will have gameplay similarities with PUBG Mobile but some come with an India specific tweak. It will come with an exclusive in-game event, which will feature new outfits and features. The developer says that the game will also start with its own export ecosystem which will include tournaments and leagues. Battleground Mobile India will be exclusive to the country.
