When immersing yourself in the most renowned and visually impressive games, don’t you feel the desire to learn more about the developers behind the scenes and appreciate their efforts? If you’re keen on discovering the minds behind BGMI, a once wildly popular gameplay in India with millions of downloaders and active users (despite its current ban), and wish to acknowledge their contributions, read on until the end. Additionally, delve into the mobile specifications supporting BGMI for both Android and iOS devices, presented side by side.’
The developers of BGMI are not mysterious. They are the same creator of the famous award-winning game PUBG: Battleground. South Korea’s gaming community developer KRAFTON is the brand that is to be credited for developing the world’s most popular and stunning video games like BGMI. The founder of Krafton’s gaming house was Chang-Byung-gyu. Originally, he founded Bluehole company in March 2007, and when Krafton was established in November 2018, it became the parent company for Bluehole. Since then, it has evolved into a multi-million-dollar player in the video game industry.
Krafton is the reason why Indian gamers got back their enthusiasm to engage in Battleground Mobile India (BGMI) – an online multiplayer battle royale game – after the banning of PUBG Mobile by the Indian Government for the sake of national security concerns. Krafton knew instantly that Battleground Mobile India would be a big hit in the Indian gaming markets. Krafton declares in their official statement after the successful running of BGMI all over India that “it has invested over $100 million in India and wants to become more than just a gaming company.” It was a clever move by Krafton developers!
Many professional gamers in India struggled with the banned PUBG. As soon as BGMI dropped in the Indian markets supporting PC, Android, and iOS devices, their source for streaming live gameplay for their following virtual fans and interested audiences became solid and smooth. So, they made the most out of it swiftly.
BGMI became the biggest hit for launching the game on Android and iOS devices in the Google Play Store (now banned), crossing over 90+ million downloaders. Still, BGMI uses different specifications for Android and iOS mobile devices.
Gameplay
A plane traverses the map carrying 100 players. Strategically, players must plan their landing and execute a jump from the plane. Upon landing, the objective is to secure resources such as guns, medkits, and armour, navigating through the safe zone. As time progresses, the playable area diminishes, putting pressure on players to stay within its confines. Those outside the safe zone sustain damage. Additionally, a red zone randomly appears, bombarding the area and presenting challenges for players within its boundaries. The safe zone continually contracts, fostering confrontations among players, ultimately vying for the coveted title of the last person standing.
Rankings and maps
BGMI has 6 types of maps, all with their own advantages and disadvantages and unique biomes. They are as follows: Erangel (suburban), Miramar(Desert region), Vikendi(Snow region), Livik, Karakin, and TDM.
