EA SPORTS FC™ Mobile Soccer secured second spot on the list, whereas Pokémon GO stood third. We dedicate these awards to our loyal and passionate community of players, who have been with us through every milestone.”īGMI, however, was not the only popular title that won the award. Our heartfelt thanks to Google Play for not only bestowing these awards but also for their unwavering guidance, support, and promotion within the vast Indian user base.

Speaking to HT Tech, Krafton India CEO, Sean Hyunil Sohn said, “We are honoured by this recognition of our efforts to create unparalleled gaming experiences for our Indian fans. Usually, the popularity of an app is determined through the number of downloads, however, it is not the only criteria. Google awards the best apps and games on its platform every year across categories to honour the developers.

Recently, Google Play named BGMI first in the ranks of ‘Best Apps and Games’ for its yearly awards 2023. Its popularity has only seen growth after the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) approved its unban. Krafton India’s Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) is arguably the most popular battle royale game in the country.
