A new temporary deadline has been announced for Battlegrounds Mobile India's (BGMI) data transfer.
Krafton officially launched the highly anticipated title for Android devices on July 2nd, 2021. The game can be downloaded by all players from the Google Play Store. Early Access participants can simply update to the new version of the game.
The official version of Battlegrounds Mobile India offers a data transfer option for players who want to retrieve their inventory and other items from PUBG Mobile. However, not everything will be transferrable. Details about the same have been provided in the support section on the official BGMI website.
