Battlegrounds Mobile India reached the 50 million downloads mark on Android devices. Krafton came out with a series of announcements. The first announcement talked about the date when Battlegrounds Mobile India touched the 50 million download mark. It is incredible to note that this feat was achieved only in 45 days by the South Korean developer. It has got more to do with the popularity of the game in the country.

In an official statement Krafton said “To celebrate the milestone, players have been gifted the Galaxy Messenger Set permanent outfit. In addition to some more fun rewards. The celebrations don’t end there! On the occasion of Independence Day, Krafton ran the fun event Freedom Face-Off. A casual set of matches on its social channels involving partners who played against each other with Team Encore eventually emerging the champions.

In line with the promise of introducing India-centric events, the Independence Day Mahotsav is also live in-game, and fans can win exciting rewards including an AWM(temporary) skin, till 19th August.”

Mr Wooyol Lim, Head of BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE Division, KRAFTON said, “We extend our warm wishes to our Indian fans on the occasion of Independence Day. We are delighted to be a part of this celebration, made even sweeter with BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA hitting 50M downloads on the Play Store in just over a month! I am looking forward to an equally strong response to our first esports tournament starting next month”
