KRAFTON has introduced a new “Career Mode” feature to Battlegrounds Mobile India (hereafter BGMI), the title it operates in India. The feature analyzes a player’s gameplay style and converts it into practical cognitive-skill indicators rooted in real-world contexts.

What makes this initiative notable is that it goes beyond simply tracking win rates. Instead, it aims to analyze users’ decision-making patterns and tendencies in order to derive capabilities that can be applied outside the game.

Career Mode is an interactive tool that holistically analyzes a user’s BGMI gameplay statistics together with their responses to scenario-based questions. Based on the collected data, the system evaluates the user’s personality and in-game approach, then translates those findings into soft skills recognized in real society—such as communication, teamwork, and leadership—and delivers them in a personalized report.

KRAFTON emphasized that this feature is not a direct hiring tool, nor is it a job-placement or employment prediction test. However, the company explained that users could draw on these cognitive insights when writing university essays or internship applications, or use the report as supporting material when speaking with recruiters—helping them articulate their thinking style and strengths. In other words, it is designed to help users identify strengths that can connect how they play in-game to real-world opportunities, rather than treating gameplay as mere entertainment.

Users can receive a report without any separate downloads or login procedures—simply by uploading a screenshot of their BGMI career stats and answering a handful of questions. In line with the privacy policy, the uploaded stats and response data are discarded immediately after the report is generated, and are not stored separately or shared with third parties. Additionally, the tool does not facilitate job-seeking outreach or recruitment matchmaking.

A key point is the attempt to expand game data into a supplementary indicator for real-life activities such as academics or job hunting. While it does not carry the force of an official certification or an academically recognized document, it is being viewed as a new pathway—one that enables gamers to reinterpret their play experience as meaningful, real-world traits.
