Battlegrounds Mobile India: Everything We Know So Far
With Krafton teasing the release date for Battlegrounds Mobile India soon and an early access version out right now, here is all the information about the upcoming mobile battle royale game compiled into a single, easy-to-find place.
What Is Battlegrounds Mobile India
Battlegrounds Mobile India is, simply put, Krafton’s second attempt at releasing PUBG Mobile in India after the Indian government banned PUBG Mobile back in September 2020. Taking directives by the Indian government into account, Battlegrounds Mobile India has been changed from PUBG Mobile to have less violence, more health warnings when starting up the game, and a stricter privacy policy to avoid the wrath of the Indian government.
Battlegrounds Mobile India Download Size
Going by the early access APK that has been making the rounds, Battlegrounds Mobile India is weighing in at a 700mb download for Android phones. However, after downloading and installing all additional necessary files for the game, it size balloons up to around 1.74GB.
Battlegrounds Mobile India Release Date
Krafton hasn’t yet revealed the official release date for Battlegrounds Mobile India, though the game seems to have been released in an early access form. There are also APKs floating around the Internet, but we’d recommend waiting for the official launch, which Krafton has stated is “closer than you think”, since downloading and installing random APK files from the Internet is a big risk in terms of cyber security and privacy. In the mean time, pre-registrations for Battlegrounds Mobile India are open on Google Play. Previously IGN India was the first to report a June 18 release date.
Battlegrounds Mobile India iOS Release Date
Krafton is yet to release any details about the iOS release of Battlegrounds Mobile India. The company has, however, stated that the iOS version is important and will be released at some point.
Battlegrounds Mobile India Game Modes
While Battlegrounds Mobile India’s flagship game mode will undoubtedly be its battle royale mode, considering all the additions to its predecessor, PUBG Mobile, we wouldn’t be surprised to see more game modes, a team deathmatch mode or crossover-centric events added to the game down the line. At launch, however, it is likely that Battlegrounds Mobile India will feature the classic Solo, Duos, and Squad modes, alongside a choice between playing the game in third-person, or first-person.
