Battlegrounds Mobile crosses 1 crore in Play Store downloads, PUBG Mobile data migration deadline extended

Battlegrounds Mobile India was officially released on the Google Play Store on July 2.

Battlegrounds Mobile India has crossed 1 crore in downloads on Google Play Store, an achievement that will bolster Krafton’s confidence in its battle royale game in the Indian market. BGMI, as it is conveniently called, was released officially on Android on July 2, days after Krafton kicked off the early access programme on June 17 for the game. Krafton is indeed celebrating the new milestone, but the memory of the data-sharing fiasco has not quite faded. The company has limited the Battlegrounds Mobile India account migration feature for now. Krafton recently announced Battlegrounds Mobile India touched 40 million in pre-registrations, and that 20 million players participated in the early access programme for the game. And talking about installations on Google Play Store, Krafton is celebrating 1crore (10 million) downloads, wherein it is rewarding players with the “Constable Set”. These are good numbers, especially for the company that has seen its fair share of troubles in India over the launch of PUBG Mobile. Last year’s ban was unfortunate for the company and it did everything to assuage the concerns of the Indian government to bring the game back. The Battlegrounds Mobile India’s arrival follows several high-level discussions between the company and the government.
