After getting banned first as PUBG Mobile, making a comeback as Battlegrounds Mobile India, and then getting banned again, BGMI is making a second comeback to the Indian gaming community, and it is already available for you to download and play!
Battlegrounds Mobile India or BGMI is the most popular battle royale in India. We saw multiple games like Free Fire, COD Mobile, Apex Legends Mobile, etc., that tried to challenge BGMI’s throne but failed to gain such popularity in the Indian gaming community.
Even after getting banned from India for the second time, BGMI remained popular as fans awaited the return of the battle royale in India. In this article, let us talk about how you can install BGMI and start jumping out of the plane to battle again.
