The game will also have to certain changes before being allowed to be played again. Now, BGMI is back on the Google Play Store and players can download it right now with the latest 2.5 update.

Just a couple of days ago, it was announced that BGMI was available for download starting May 27 and players could preload the game but BGMI servers would go live at a later date. BGMI players are in for a treat as the game servers go live today, May 29. In a post on Instagram, the official account of BGMI wrote, “If you are an Android user, you will be able to preload today and play on May 29th, if you are an iOS user, you can enjoy and play the game from May 29th.”
