How does account transfer work?
If a player has a PUBG Mobile account, they can transfer their data, including past purchases and skins, to Battlegrounds Mobile India. This is a great move by the game's developers. The process is pretty simple.
After logging into the game and creating their characters, players will be asked whether they are a resident of India or not.
After clicking yes, players will be asked for their approval regarding data transfer to Battlegrounds Mobile India. Players need to confirm, and after that, a new dialog box will appear showing all the required information concerning the data transfer. After reading that, players should tap on “Yes.”
This will lead to a message requesting players to select the social media network (Facebook or Twitter) that was earlier linked to their PUBG Mobile accounts.
After logging in, players will get a final prompt requiring them to verify the process. Players can click on “Yes,” which will then transfer all their former data to Battlegrounds Mobile India.
