When will BGMI 2.6 update release? Expected date and more

Following a long break, BGMI’s services were reinstated in India in May 2023, and this new development evoked a wave of immense delight among the fans, players, and content creators. The developers launched the 2.5 version of the battle royale title, and its revival was marked by the release of abundant new content for the players to enjoy.

Adding to the grandeur of the relaunch, the developers also collaborated with Bugatti in June to launch a new car skin in the game. After engrossing themselves in this version of the game for over a month, players are waiting for the much-anticipated 2.6 update. The following section provides the patch's expected release date and other details.

BGMI 2.6 update expected release date

Krafton has regularly delivered updates to provide a refreshing experience to the game’s massive audience. The South Korean company may unveil the much-awaited BGMI 2.6 update sometime between July 13 and 20, 2023. This is just an expected date; players can download the patch through the respective virtual stores whenever available.

This assumption is based on the fact that while PUBG Mobile and BGMI are two separate IPs altogether, Krafton has followed a pattern of releasing new updates in Battlegrounds Mobile India a few days after an update was rolled out in PUBG Mobile.

Following this assumption, it is reasonable to think that Krafton may release BGMI 2.6 update on the date mentioned above, especially considering the fact that PUBG Mobile 2.7 update has been announced for July 13, 2023.

However, it is important to emphasize that nothing is confirmed about the 2.6 update since Krafton has not yet made an official announcement. As a result, this is just an expected release date based on the previous patterns.
