Is BGMI 1.5 update releasing today? Everything we know so far

While PUBG Mobile recently rolled out its 1.5 update, fans are curious to know if the BGMI 1.5 version will get a similar update. It is essential to understand that Battlegrounds Mobile India, launched by Krafton Studios, has formally decided to break ties with Tencent.

The Chinese giant is no longer the publishing partner of the popular game in India to allay concerns of the Indian government on data security.

BGMI is a battle royale game made exclusively for gaming enthusiasts in India. It is now available for download as a free-to-play multiplayer game on the Google Play Store with a great range of maps, game modes, and exciting launch week challenges. However, it is yet to be released in the App Store for IOS devices.
