During Krafton India has not yet made an official statement about the BGMI name change in Google Play Store, The timing of this change led to speculation among players and industry observers. Re -branding in Google Play Store can be interpreted in various ways:

A Potential Re -Marking Strategy: This can be a further strengthening movement of the “BGMI” abbreviation as the primary identifier of the game, and perhaps target a globally recognizable brand name.

A thin distance: Considering the ongoing data violation debates and the historical precedent of PUBG Mobile’s ban in India, some think that it can be a complete attempt to create a separation from the title of “Battlegrounds Mobile India ..

Routine update: It is also possible to better reflect the basic game of the basic game as “online multiplayer game ,, and it is also possible to have a routine update in the game’s listing of the game in the App Store.

Change comes at a sensitive time for Krafton India. The Supreme Court of Bombay held a hearing on April 15 yesterday to address the written petitions made by the company who wanted to stop the investigation into the allegations of data violations. The result of this hearing is not known as this morning.

Legal procedures arise by a BGMI user from a complaint claiming that Krafton India has announced and sells players’ personal information. Krafton Inc.’s center strongly rejected these allegations that the internal investigations could not find any evidence to support them and that the problem was solved in 2023 before.

The Supreme Court hearing and the rejection of Krafton’s rejection of the BGMI name change in the Google Play Store adds another layer of intrigue to the ongoing situation. It is seen whether this is a strategic movement on legal difficulties or a simple effort to re -marketing. Players and Industrial Analysts will closely monitor the decision of the Supreme Court of Krafton India and the Supreme Court of Bombays that have significant effects on the future of the BGMI in the country.

Note – The App Store list has not changed so far.
