The company took this step after the Chinese connection of Battlegrounds Mobile India came to light.

As soon as Battlegrounds Mobile India was launched, questions started being raised. This game has come under the scanner ever since its early access went live a few days ago. It was reported that it was sending and receiving data from servers in China, Hong Kong, Moscow and the US. It was also reported that while booting it pinged a Tencent server in Beijing. Krafton had announced the termination of ties with China-based Tencent last year in order to bring the game back to its previous form for Indian users. After that, new reports are now showing that the company is not keeping its promise. Now Krafton has released a small update to fix the China server issue.

IGN India first reported about Battlegrounds Mobile India hosting data in servers in China and other countries. Android-apk” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>now it says That the game will not share information with China servers when you play the game. When you boot up the game a small automatic update is downloaded which appears to have fixed the issue. Once that update is applied, Battlegrounds Mobile India asks you to restart the game and log back in.

This update released by Krafton reportedly prevents any data from going to Chinese servers. IGN India ran a packet sniffer during two matches after the update was implemented and noticed that Battlegrounds Mobile India was not reporting a single Chinese server. The report states that the Chinese servers are pinged only when the app data is deleted. This could be due to the account migration feature, which enabled PUBG Mobile users to move their in-app purchases to Battlegrounds Mobile India.

In its privacy policy, Battlegrounds Mobile India says that personal information will be stored on servers located in India and Singapore and then processed. But it may transfer user data to other countries to operate the game service or meet legal requirements. This new update will reportedly ensure that no Chinese servers are pinged for Indian users.

Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has written a letter to Union IT and Communication Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad demanding a ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India in the country. It has also urged Google to remove this game from its Play Store.
