Krafton rolled out the Battlegrounds Mobile India beta on June 21. Moreover, today, the official game has finally rolled out for download and install. When the beta release was announced, players were worried about their old PUBG Mobile account. No one was sure about whether the game would allow players to transfer their data from PUBG Mobile. However, it indeed came true and players were allowed to do so.
However, a day or two later, reports of Battlegrounds Mobile India sending back player’s data to China surfaced online. This led to a lot of tension in the gaming community. In fact, many players are playing the game day in and day out to enjoy each and every aspect of the game in case it gets banned soon.

To counter this, Krafton has announced that the data transfer feature from PUBG Mobile to Battlegrounds Mobile India will be shut down. However, this is temporary and players will most likely be able to retrieve their previous data afterwards. The shutdown process of the data transfer feature will start from July 6. Nothing has been revealed about when the feature will come back again.
