How to transfer PUBG Mobile data to Battlegrounds Mobile India

The long-awaited Battlegrounds Mobile India finally released on the 6th of July on Google Play. The game’s news surfaced on the internet months ago and since then it has had to go through a lot of verifications in order to go public in the Indian mobile app market after the issues that were found with PUBG Mobile.

For the unaware, PUBG Mobile was banned in India due to data theft and flaws in its privacy policy. The ban was imposed in September last year and the app markets were quick enough to remove the game from their storefronts. Later on, the Indian servers were banned and players had to find other ways to play the game.

The ban caused a lot of loss, especially for streamers and professional players as the game was no longer legal to stream and play in the country. On top of that, a lot of players had gone through massive financial losses as they had made huge investments into the game through IAPs.

To make a comeback in the Indian market, the game dropped Tencent’s holdings and Krafton, a South Korean video game giant, renamed the game from PUBG Mobile to Battlegrounds Mobile India. The game looks exactly the same as the former one but comes with some minor changes. In particular, the policies are much clearer now and abide by the rules and regulations of the Indian Government.

Recently, BGMI also announced that players can migrate their PUBG Mobile account over to Battlegrounds Mobile India. This means players can now retrieve their old account which includes their stats, achievements and most importantly, any IAPs.
