BGMI Global Matchmaking Rumor Debunked: What Players Need to Know

BGMI Global Matchmaking Rumor Debunked: What Players Need to Know

Krafton India recently launched the 4.0 Update for Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), featuring new gameplay elements, a themed mode, and an Indian culture-inspired “STEPWELL” Point of Interest (POI). Recently, an image showcasing a North American server option in BGMI sparked excitement and rumors about the possibility of global matchmaking being introduced to the game. Let’s explore whether BGMI will indeed offer global matchmaking soon. Is BGMI Introducing Global Matchmaking? The viral image suggesting a North American server option has caused speculation that BGMI might soon enable players to compete internationally. However, upon closer inspection, this claim appears unlikely. Many players have reported checking their accounts and not finding any such server option, indicating the image is probably altered or fake. Historically, BGMI’s journey makes this move doubtful. Its predecessor, PUBG Mobile, was banned in India, and BGMI itself experienced a temporary suspension due to concerns tied to data security and its previous association with a Chinese developer. Krafton has taken substantial steps to ensure BGMI complies with Indian regulations and remains an India-exclusive title. Launching a global matchmaking feature would involve cross-border data transfers—a critical issue that led to earlier regulatory scrutiny and bans. It’s improbable that Krafton would jeopardize BGMI’s regulatory standing by introducing a feature that could reignite data privacy concerns. For now, players should view the viral screenshot as a rumor and wait for any official announcements from Krafton. BGMI is expected to continue focusing on the Indian gaming community without global matchmaking integration.

The BYOD zone remains one of DreamHack’s most iconic experiences. Here, attendees can bring their own PC, console, or mobile setup to game together across three days, surrounded by friends, creators, and fellow enthusiasts. For working professionals and college students, BYOD offers the perfect weekend gaming getaway, an immersive break from routine where you and your crew can compete, connect, and play nonstop in a true festival atmosphere. This year, fans will also have the option to rent a high-performance PC on site, making it easier than ever to jump straight into the action without carrying heavy equipment. Together, DreamHack x Hyderabad Comic Con 2025 will host an unparalleled lineup of activities, including: PAN FEST (BGMI) – An open-for-all BGMI competition with daily lobbies, giving every fan a chance to drop in solo or squad up with friends and battle it out live at the festival.

Speaking on the announcement, Akshat Rathee, Co-founder and Managing Director, NODWIN Gaming, said: “Over the past six years, our partnership with DreamHack has built some of India’s most iconic gaming moments, and blending it with Comic Con has created a one-of-a-kind celebration where gaming meets pop culture. Hyderabad’s fans have always brought unmatched energy, and last year’s three-day format proved just how powerful this fusion can be. This October, we’re coming back bigger and bolder than ever with everything from comic book launches, spectacular cosplay showcases, music and comedy performances, and geeky shopping to esports tournaments, chess, retro, and tabletop games, all under one roof.” Shefali Johnson, CEO, Comic Con India, added: “What makes Hyderabad Comic Con truly magical is how it brings every kind of fan under one roof, from cosplay enthusiasts and comic collectors to gamers and creators. Last year, over 40,000 fans cheered as Wagh Suyog was crowned champion in both the Blitz and Rapid Chess formats, a perfect example of how competition, creativity, and community thrive together here. This year, by joining forces with DreamHack once again, we’re taking that spirit to the next level. Fans can look forward to three unforgettable days where pop culture, gaming, and fandom collide like never before.” Comic Con India has been the nation’s definitive pop culture destination for over a decade, bringing together comics, anime, movies, television, and cosplay in five major cities. This year, Hyderabad Comic Con returns earlier than ever with more experiences, more fandom, and more entertainment than before.
