Can PUBG Mobile Lite India players expect BGMI Lite release date in 2021?

PUBG Mobile Lite players have been waiting for the arrival of BGMI Lite for a long time now. While the official release date for the game has not been confirmed yet, it is expected to roll out soon.

The hype for BGMI Lite began with the release of Battlegrounds Mobile India. Since the majority of Indian mobile gamers have low-end devices, the massive demand for a lite version of one of the most celebrated battle royale titles is not surprising.

Will BGMI Lite be released this month?

While the release of BGMI Lite is more or less certain, there has been no official confirmation from the developers. Krafton has remained tight-lipped about both the release of the game.

Popular BGMI players and influencers have been a major source of information when it comes to the lite version. Their tweets have given mobile gamers hope that the game is arriving soon.

The coach of GodLike Esports, Abhijeet “Ghatak” Andhare has always been positive when it comes to the release of BGMI Lite. In an exclusive conversation with Sportskeeda Esports’ Debolina Banerjee, he said the following:

“Players can expect good news with regards to the release of BGMI Lite really soon. It might arrive by the end of December or sooner!”

As per the above statement, players can expect BGMI Lite to be rolled out within 2021. However, this must be taken with a pinch of salt as no official confirmation has been made by Krafton.

Other BGMI players have also supported the release of BGMI Lite. Jonathan Amaral, Sagar “Maxtern” Thakur, Vivek “ClutchGod” Aabhas, Shazia “Mysterious YT” Ayub, are few examples.
