Krafton India recently released the 4.0 Update of Battlegrounds Mobile India. The update introduces new features, themed mode, and one Indian culture inspired “STEPWELL” POI. A screenshot showing a new server option for Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) has gone viral, leading to a wave of excitement and speculation among players. Let’s know the answer of “Is BGMI Global Matchmaking Coming?”.

Truth of BGMI Global Matchmaking Viral Screenshot
However, a closer look at the situation reveals that this leak is highly improbable. We have analyzed the claim and found no evidence to support BGMI Global Matchmaking. Multiple players have checked their game accounts and confirmed that no such server option is available, suggesting the screenshot is likely edited or completely fabricated.
The history of BGMI further solidifies the unlikelihood of this feature. The game’s predecessor, PUBG Mobile, was banned in India, and BGMI itself faced a temporary suspension due to concerns over data security and its connections to a Chinese developer. The game’s developer, Krafton, has invested significant effort to ensure BGMI is compliant with Indian regulations and maintains its status as an India-specific title.
Introducing a global matchmaking feature would necessitate cross-border data transfer, a practice that directly contributed to the game’s past regulatory issues. It is highly improbable that Krafton would risk a new ban by adding a feature that could reignite the same data privacy concerns.
For now, players are advised to treat the viral screenshot as a rumor. Until there is an official announcement from Krafton India, it is safe to assume that BGMI will remain a game focused on the Indian market.
