Recently, well-known esports commentator and analyst Zishan “Mazy” Alam was streaming on his YouTube channel MazyisLive, when subscribers started asking about the game’s return. When a fan wanted to know if Battlegrounds Mobile India still has an audience, Mazy replied:

He also claimed that many PC gamers grew little while mobile gaming creators amassed fame on YouTube. Mazy fans waned his take on Krafton being unresponsive for months, while the COD Mobile developers were quick to resolve the issue recently.

Mazy responded by explaining that COD Mobile faced a recent issue because of a glitch in the Apple App Store. At the same time, BGMI’s issue has “government’s involvement,” which is why Krafton has not been able to resolve it to date.

For those unaware, Call of Duty: Mobile was recently removed from Apple App Store, and Activision quickly responded. Furthermore, Apple resolved the issue after a few hours.

MeitY blocked Battlegrounds Mobile India almost five months ago, and the game has since been unavailable from Google and Apple’s application stores. Krafton’s initial response came way back in July 2022, and since then, the South Korean gaming company has largely remained silent except for a few occasions.

It was November 2022, when last time Krafton gave a positive statement mentioning Battlegrounds Mobile India. The game company released its Q3 earning report in November 2022, in which it stated:

However, after that statement, Krafton has yet to make an announcement or confirmation. Although many leaks or rumors have made their way to the internet from time to time, the game remains banned after five months.

Recently, the GodLike Esports star Jonathan addressed the BGMI unban during one of his live streams. He asked his fans to keep grinding as the game might make a comeback any day. Furthermore, he told his fans about “the leaks” he has been getting lately, but he is not trusting anything yet.

Here’s what the esports pro athlete said:

The professional player also highlighted how he was missing the LAN events and other things related to the game. However, like most fans, Jonathan was also unsure about the unban date.
