The esports industry anticipates increased streams and income as BGMI returns.

Battlegrounds Mobile India is returning after much wrangling! The game has returned to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store after a 10-month break. But, the renewal has returned with its own set of limitations and is being closely monitored by the Indian government. "The highly anticipated return is projected to provide India's already booming E-sports and game streaming industry a huge boost. Midcore is anticipated to drive growth the fastest in the domestic gaming market, which is likely to be valued at roughly $8.6 billion by 2027 from $2.6 billion in 2022. Within this market, BGMI will play a significant role, according to Justin Shriram Keeling, founding general partner of Lumikai.

Following the game's resurrection, the number of streams will also increase, contributing to an increase in revenue. Industry predictions predict that key BGMI developers and gamers will earn a 120% increase in revenue, which will coincide with an increase in viewing. "Since BGMI was the majority of the core BGMI creators' primary work prior to the ban, viewership has increased by 300–400% for them. Although this hasn't had an immediate impact on their revenue growth, Rohit Agarwal, founder and director of Alpha Zegus, predicted that if they can maintain these figures for a few months, their revenue will increase by more than 120%.]

One of the restrictions that KRAFTON has agreed to is a time limit for its users. The daily playtime for gamers under the age of 18 is three hours, compared to six hours for everyone else. The game would also continue to include parental verification and a daily spending cap for minors. A new level called Nusa, an update, and various in-game extras including skins, weapon upgrades, and vehicle upgrades have all been added to the game since its release.

Due to rumours linking KRAFTON to Chinese gaming giant Tencent, the game had been prohibited by the government for security reasons. In addition, the game came under fire after a string of crimes. KRAFTON, however, has denied having any communication with the Chinese game company and distanced itself from the rumours.

The game was released in response to Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, tweeting that the game would be closely monitored during its evaluation time. "After complying with issues regarding server locations, data security, etc., #BGMI has been approved for a three-month trial. Before making a final judgement, we will closely monitor additional issues involving user injury, addiction, etc. throughout the course of the next three months, Chandrasekhar tweeted.

The gaming industry hopes that this will ultimately legitimise the play despite the looming concerns. About half of all mobile gamers in the nation played BGMI in the 12 months preceding to the game's suspension, according to a report by Niko Partners. After the ban, 59% of them kept playing, 12% transferred to another game, and 29% gave up playing mobile games completely.

At the time it was prohibited in India, BGMI reportedly had over 100 million users, according to KRAFTON. The reinstatement of BGMI is expected to have a stabilising effect on the gaming industry's growth, opening up major prospects for long-term growth and an increase in revenue creation. The creator and CEO of 8Bit Creatives, Animesh Agarwal, predicted that the recovery will result in a notable rise in brand endorsements and investments.
