Details about the release date of BGMI's forthcoming 2.1 update

Every new update in Battlegrounds Mobile India usually arrives around 60 days after the previous update. However, there have been cases where an update has appeared before the stipulated time.

The forthcoming 2.1 update in July is set to be the fourth major update in 2022. Following the success of the last three updates, the new update will aim to exceed the expectations of players across the country.

The 2.1 update is expected to appear on the Google Play Store (for Android users) and the Apple Store (for iOS users) between 13 July and 16 July. However, since the PUBG Mobile update will be available on 13 July, the most likely date for the update's release in BGMI is 15 July.

Krafton released the most recent 2.0 update a few days before the conclusion of the existing RP. Meanwhile, the ongoing M12 Toy World-themed Royale Pass is set to conclude on 18 July, leading to the stipulated time frame.

BGMI players must notify their in-game friends to update their game once the 2.1 update is released. Otherwise, they will face issues when trying to play together as the title prevents players on different versions from teaming up.

Furthermore, following the tradition of the last few updates, the new Cycle 3 Season 7 will also be added along with the Month 13 RP in the upcoming update on 19 July.
