BGMI makes an official comeback with limited playtime

Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) has made a highly anticipated comeback, offering players exciting changes and new features.

With its official release on May 29th, the game brings forth significant updates, including permanent outfits, a fresh map, and captivating in-game events.

However, one of the most noteworthy changes implemented by Krafton, the game's publisher, revolves around playtime restrictions in accordance with the regulations established by the Indian government.

To align with government mandates and encourage healthy gaming habits, Krafton has introduced playtime limits for BGMI players.

Players aged 18 and above are now restricted to a maximum of 6 hours of gameplay per day.

Players under the age of 18 are limited to a 3-hour playtime threshold.

As an additional measure, players below 18 are required to provide their guardian or parent's mobile number during their initial login.

To further promote responsible behavior, the game incorporates a daily spending limit, ensuring players exercise prudence when making in-game purchases.

A prominent addition is the inclusion of a new map called Nusa, which is the smallest map available in-game, measuring 1x1. This map offers fast-paced matches with shorter durations, often lasting only 8 minutes.

Moreover, the update brings several improvements to existing maps.

The Livik map now boasts a visually enhanced waterfall, featuring improved textures and effects that seamlessly blend with the environment.

Additionally, the Neostead2000 shotgun is now available on Livik. Supply Shops have been added to Sanhok, Vikendi, and Miramar maps, enhancing gameplay dynamics.

Miramar also sees the inclusion of Monster Trucks, providing a unique and exhilarating experience.

The update also introduces the Tactical Crossbow, expanding the weapon arsenal. With fire arrows, players can now restore ziplines and set certain houses ablaze. 

Additionally, an off-road ATV serves as a new two-seater vehicle option. The update further enhances gameplay with unique attractions such as zorb balls, a swimming pool, combustible buildings, and destructible jars.

The 2.5 Update also introduces the Super Recall feature, allowing players to recall fallen teammates within a specific timeframe.

Upon recall, the player receives a random weapon previously carried by the surviving teammate. In solo mode, players are automatically recalled, providing added convenience.

Furthermore, improvements have been made to the throwing process of throwable items, and glass windows are no longer shattered by thrown objects.
