India’s favourite battle royale game, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), is one of the strongest competitors. Krafton, the game’s publisher and creator, has continuously worked to improve and enhance the gameplay, which is the driving force behind its engaging gameplay. With the introduction of intriguing events, attractive skins, and a plethora of other captivating features, Krafton has consistently brought fresh life to the game since its launch.

Krafton’s commitment to improving the game’s features doesn’t waver. One significant project that has sprung from its efforts is Global Matchmaking. With the help of this innovative feature, players can now compete against competitors who live in different countries and travel beyond their own borders. The idea that gamers from one nation can move across servers with ease and engage in combat with opponents from other countries is no longer just a theoretical idea. An image that has been making the rounds in the gaming world recently suggests that the global matchmaking feature for BGMI is still under testing.

Global Matchmaking in BGMI

As its name suggests quite eloquently, BGMI was specially designed to serve the Indian gaming community. But for this regionally focused game, the idea of international matchmaking has remained mainly unexplored ground. A recently popular image clearly shows some gamers being offered the chance to venture outside of their home servers and discover new worlds. A tantalising peek of possible global matchmaking within BGMI becomes evident among the broad array of servers on exhibit, including those from India, North America, Europe, South America, the Middle East, and KRJP (Korea and Japan).

It is imperative that the global matchmaking capability be included in BGMI. Krafton’s calculated action could give esports gamers and sportsmen a strong worldwide platform and help them gain international recognition. Global matching in BGMI is critically needed, as demonstrated by Tanmay “Scout” Singh’s experience, who represented 7Sea Esports at a worldwide PUBG Mobile event. Scout argues that in order to compete on a global level, facing off against international rivals requires the availability of worldwide matchmaking services. Another accomplished player from Entity, Saumya “Saumraj” Raj, agrees that adding international matchmaking to BGMI will definitely improve the overall game experience.

Global Matchmaking and BGMI’s Esports Landscape

BGMI promotes a variety of competitions and events specifically targeted towards its Indian player base, all the while remaining deeply rooted in its Indian background. Players from other countries are naturally unable to participate in these exclusive tournaments due to this regional restriction. One possible revolution may be the introduction of the worldwide matchmaking function. Besides showcasing individual talent, this development would allow for a rigorous testing ground for skill and potential by matching Indian athletes against their international counterparts. Playmakers are forced to hone their skills in domestic competition due to the limitations imposed by the territory’s unique identity. This is an important development because, since BGMI’s founding, Indian players have had little opportunity to participate in international events.

Aspirations and Expectations

BGMI’s esports athletes understand the gap that still exists between Indian teams’ results at international competitions and the benchmarks set by their international competitors. This difference results from the lack of meaningful interactions between Indian and international teams since PMWL’s inception. There’s a strong sense of expectation within the gaming community for the worldwide matchmaking feature to launch soon. 

With the ability to challenge foreign teams and players, this development may mark the beginning of a new age in international gameplay. To this day, Krafton has not made any formal statements on the rollout of the feature that allows for worldwide matchmaking. Gamers need to stay alert and keep an eye on the horizon for any improvements that might change the way that BGMI is played and how people interact with it globally.
