BGMI back on the Google Play Store from today! You can download now
One of the most popular battle royal mobile games in India, Battlegrounds Mobile India, also known as BGMI, has seen its ban lifted and the good news for fans is that it can now be downloaded on Android smartphones from the Google Play Store.
