The developers stated that they have no plans on supporting emulated version of BGMI. PUBG Mobile emulator version had a big player base in India but seemingly, they will need to shift on mobile devices for Battlegrounds Mobile India.

The reason for not providing an emulated support is due to the difficulties in monitoring the malpractices on such a platform. When asked if BGMI will have an emulated version, Krafton stated the following:
“Unfortunately, in emulator version, it is expected to happen easier the illegal actions such as falsification, etc. compared to the mobile environment. So there is currently no plan in terms of supporting emulator version. If there is any change upon support of emulator version, we will further inform you through another notice.”
