Battlegrounds Mobile India release on June 18: Mobile number, OTP authentication, verification code required for log in? Here's all we know

Battlegrounds Mobile India is learnt to have updated its support page that requires OTP authentication for players’ log in, though the report could not be verified independently.

New Delhi: As millions of fans are waiting for BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA’s launch, it has been speculated in the media that the battle royale game could well land on your phones on this Friday.

The company’s latest social media give ample hints that Krafton may launch BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA in the country on June 18, exactly after a month after it had opened for pre-registrations on May 18.

However, as per latest reports, Battlegrounds Mobile India is learnt to have updated its support page that requires OTP authentication for players’ log in. A Gadget 260 degree report said that OTP authentication seems to be the only way currently to log in to Battlegrounds Mobile India. This is not akin to PUBG Mobile where gamers could avail multiple login --Facebook, Google Play, or guest accounts. The report further suggests that users can log in to Battlegrounds Mobile India by sharing their mobile number where they will get the OTP. It is only after verifying the OTP that players can proceed further.

Users would be able to ‘Verify code' three times only while the code will be valid for five minutes. Players can request for a code 10 times, after that they will be restricted for the next 24 hours. You can register up to 10 accounts on a single phone number.
