Battlegrounds Mobile India aka, PUBG Mobile, the most awaited mobile game from Krafton, is live on the Play Store with its early access. Many rejoiced the return of their beloved mobile game (wrapped in different packaging, of course).
However, speculations arose around the data sharing of users as soon as the beta went live. This caused more calls for a ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India, with many users and political leaders alongside CIAT demanding the game to be banned. Nevertheless, we’ve yet to see if the game will get banned once again in India. Until then, read on the rules to not get yourself banned in BGMI, aka PUBG Mobile.
