KRAFTON India has announced the integration of prominent Indian content creator CarryMinati as a fully playable in-game character in BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA (BGMI). This marks the first instance of an Indian digital personality being featured in such a capacity within the game, moving beyond cosmetic appearances or cameos. The collaboration is scheduled to run from August 15 to September 13, 2026.
The partnership introduces CarryMinati into BGMI through a dedicated WOW Map, an in-game Boss Battle, Exchange Events, voice packs, emotes, and an exclusive Frost-and-Flame themed collection. Notably, the entire collection has been conceptualized and designed by NotYourType (NYT), establishing a creator-to-creator collaboration within the game’s framework. This initiative by KRAFTON India (https://www.krafton.com/) aims to merge gaming with broader internet culture and creator influence, providing players with new engagement opportunities.
Ajey Nagar, known as CarryMinati, commented on the collaboration: “Gaming has been a significant part of my life, and interacting with the BGMI community for years has been rewarding. Becoming a character within a game that has influenced me personally is an unparalleled experience. The teams at KRAFTON India and NotYourType have focused on integrating my persona and attitude authentically into the game. I look forward to players engaging with the character and the new content.”
Srinjoy Das, Director, Marketing And Product Management at KRAFTON India, stated, “Modern gaming frequently intersects with creators, online trends, and community dynamics. CarryMinati, having been central to many cultural conversations, was a natural fit for BGMI. Our objective was to develop an immersive experience around him that players could recognize and participate in. This collaboration with NYT aims to deliver memorable moments for our players.”
This introduction follows a series of collaborations within the BGMI 4.5 season, which has featured partnerships such as the Ferrari Speed Drift Collection, the NARUTO-themed Ninjas Assemble mode transforming Erangel and Livik, and the Spider-Man: Brand New Day integration. CarryMinati’s inclusion as a playable character further expands BGMI’s strategy of incorporating popular cultural figures and brands.
