BGMI has finally introduced the ‘Game Responsibly’ feature to bring some improvement in the gaming habit of its young player base. The new campaign brings time OTP control, gameplay limits, customized game graphics, and game spend limits. 

Krafton brought BGMI as a remodeled version of PUBG with a bunch of features to enhance game-life balance. The company announced the new Game Responsibly feature with a YouTube ad. Also, Krafton, the developer and publisher of BGMI has released a dedicated page for better understanding.

As a part of its Game Responsibly campaign, BGMI allows parents to control the gaming habits of minors i.e. users below 18 years of age. Parents can now authorize the gaming session of minors through an OTP sent to them whence the game is initiated by the child. So, for this feature to work, a minor account needs to provide details of a guardian during the first registration.
