Krafton launches official BGMI APK download option for Android users

Krafton has made the download process for Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) much simpler for fans and players. After the release of the latest 2.1 update for the game, players can not only download the battle royale title through the Google Play Store and Apple App Store but also use the APK from the official website.

Gamers can access the official site and click on the APK download button in the bottom left corner to get the APK file for the game. However, they need to keep in mind that this is a compact version, and they need to download an additional resource pack before they can jump into the game.

Unlike PUBG Mobile, BGMI did not initially provide its players with the option to download the official APK file from its website. Hence, many Android users who wished to download and install the game through the APK had to download the files from third-party sites.

However, Krafton has completely resolved the issue by providing the latest APK on the official website. Gamers looking for the latest APK file after every update will not have to waste any time now as developers have hosted the APK on the official website.

The size for the BGMI 2.1 APK is 558 MB, and additional storage space is required to download the resource pack. Thus, gamers should ensure they have enough space on their device before downloading the APK.
