The government also plans on restricting access to the aforementioned games via VPN too.

The report focused on the negative aspects of gaming and how it had fueled violent incidents. It is also believed that both these games have scaled unprecedented heights of popularity and have become a regular source of entertainment among adults and children. The report also elaborated on the sudden ban which might cause an uproar among Bangladeshi youths. Taking the uproar into consideration, the ban will be implemented in a steady manner. 

While talking about the ban, Mohiuddin Ahmed, President, Bangladesh Mobile Phone Users Association said, “While we are relentlessly working hard to get the next generation to have access to the internet, the next generation has gone astray by abusing technology.”

PUBG Mobile was banned in Pakistan, Afghanistan and a few other countries citing the same reasons. Nepal also tried banning PUBG in 2019 but it did not receive the Supreme Court’s nod to implement it.
