BGMI to Roll Out Parental Control Under Game Responsibly Campaign

Krafton announced the ‘Game Responsibly’ campaign for BGMI earlier today. It would give parents more control over the popular battle royale game through time limits and OTP confirmation.

After bringing PUBG mobile back to India in the guise of BGMI, Krafton has made a conscious effort to create a good game-life balance among its player base; particularly among minors. As a result, Krafton has announced a new feature that will give parents more control over their children’s playtime. Every player under the age of 18 will be required to register a parent or guardian before beginning each session. After which the parent or guardian will receive an OTP that will allow them to authorize or disallow the session. The gamer will be able to play the game for the next three hours if permission is granted.
