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.

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.
