After some minor changes and revisions in accordance with the Indian government, the game has been launched in the Indian market with a new name, “Battlegrounds Mobile India.”

But what if you have accidentally chosen no to the 18-year-old consent. No worries, we are here to guide you on how to change your age from below 18 to above 18 in BGMI.
