Krafton officially announced the relaunch of BGMI in India, following the preloading option for Android users a couple of days ago.

The latest BGMI 2.5 update, available for download on the Google Play Store and App Store, introduces Nusa, the game’s smallest map to date
Set in a tropical environment, Nusa features exciting additions such as ziplines, a Super Recall feature, a tactical crossbow, and a two-seater off-road all-terrain vehicle. Each match on Nusa will have a duration of eight minutes, as specified by Krafton.
To address concerns related to server locations and data security, BGMI has obtained a three-month “trial approval” from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
Krafton has addressed these issues, ensuring compliance with the necessary regulations. Over the trial period, the government, led by MoS IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar, will closely monitor these aspects along with concerns about gaming addiction and user well-being.
BGMI’s relaunch in India brings joy to gaming enthusiasts, offering new gameplay elements while emphasizing responsible gaming practices.
