Krafton Inc after a long wait for PUBG Mobile fans has launched Battlegrounds Mobile India in India. The game is currently available for Android devices via the Google Play Store and will reportedly soon release on iOS devices too. To recall, the game was originally made available on June 17 under an Early Access programme. Also Read - Top Tech News Today: Battlegrounds Mobile India launched, Airtel Black plans released, more
Battlegrounds Mobile India is now available on the Play Store and within a few hours of its release on July 3, the game crossed the 10 million download mark. To commemorate this achievement, Krafton Inc is offering players with a free in-game outfit, called the Constable set. Apart from that, it is also offering players a classic crate coupon and three supply crate coupons as a reward for helping the game reach its download goals.

Even though the Google Play Store does not reveal the exact number of downloads, 10 million seem a bit small when compared to the 40 million pre-registrations Krafton claims to have secured for the game since May 18. It also seems pretty small compared to its competitor Garena Free Fire, which has over 500 million installs on the Google Play Store. However, keep in mind that Free Fire is available globally, whereas, Battlegrounds Mobile India is only available in India.
The game is currently officially only available via the Google Play Store and the company does not offer users with the APK files to sideload it onto their smartphones. It is available in third-party app stores, however, is not official and is upload by individuals. Thus there is a risk of the files to come bundled with malicious software. This is why we recommend that you download the game only via the Google Play Store.
In other news, Krafton has announced that players have until July 5 to transfer their PUBG Mobile account data to Battlegrounds Mobile India, from inside of the game. After the deadline is crossed, players will not be able to import their data to the Indian version of the game.
