Battlegrounds Mobile pre-registration opens on May 18 in India

PUBG Mobile India game will be launched as Battlegrounds Mobile India and its pre-registration will open later this month.

Battlegrounds Mobile India -- the Indian version of the PUBG Mobile game -- will be available for pre-registration starting May 18 on your Android phone. Krafton has announced that fans who pre-register can grab exclusive items and special rewards that they will be able to use once the game becomes available for download. The PUBG Mobile makers are opening pre-registration only for Android phones right now, which means you will have to visit Google Play Store on your phone. For iOS, Krafton has not said anything about when registrations will begin on iPhone. Krafton's announcement comes days after it officially confirmed that PUBG Mobile is returning to India, however, in a new avatar. The new name Battlegrounds Mobile seems like an attempt to give a new identity to the battle royale game that the Indian government banned last year. To escape an ill fate this time, anything related to the word "PUBG" seems to have been avoided. In fact, Krafton is urging some game content creators in the country to avoid using the word "PUBG" and go for the new one, instead.
