Battlegrounds Mobile India: Why one should forget about importing PUBG Mobile account data

Battlegrounds Mobile India is expected to be an India-only version of popular mobile game PUBG Mobile, that was banned in India in 2020. 

Battlegrounds Mobile India is all the rage right now in the Indian mobile gaming scene, even though there’s no launch date yet. The battle royale game has been anticipated for months now by fans since PUBG Mobile was banned in India in September 2020. As the title went up for pre-registration earlier this week, developer Krafton has been silent on many queries around the game, including basic details like an expected launch date.

But the one question many players have is whether they will be able to carry over their PUBG Mobile data to Battlegrounds Mobile India? Krafton has not revealed the answer to this burning question yet, even though the game’s launch is expected within the next few weeks by many. While fans continue to be hopeful that they will be able to import their PUBG Mobile statistics, unlocked skins and other rewards to Battlegrounds Mobile India, this task will be unlikely.

* Why people think a data carryover is possible ?

A huge reason for the belief is that Battlegrounds Mobile India is a quick rename of PUBG Mobile India, an India-specific game title that Krafton had been developing for months since the PUBG Mobile ban last year. This has left people thinking that a data carry over shouldn’t be very difficult to execute, considering PUBG Mobile India was set to be just an Indian version of the same global game.

However, Battlegrounds Mobile India is developed by Krafton, a South-Korean game developer that is completely different from Tencent, the Chinese conglomerate that made the original PUBG Mobile game. Many believe that since the two games come from different publishers, a carry-over is impossible. However, this is not the case. Here’s why.
