The immediate ban, however, did not include orders to the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Telecom Service Providers (TSPs) to block server access to the game. But for what it is worth, the ban suspended future updates to the game since it was no longer available on app marketplaces. The return of the game makes it accessible far and wide.

Battlegrounds Mobile India’s listing on the Google Play Store is about 735MB in size and would require the installation of additional files.

This means it is available to some users before a wider rollout takes place. Krafton has not specified any details about the rollout.
