A number of Indian esports personalities have also hinted that Battlegrounds Mobile India could be released on June 18th. Here are some of the hints:

Maxtern

In a cryptic tweet on May 27th, Sagar “Maxtern” Thakur posted a binary number followed by the word "enjoy." When converted to its binary form, the number becomes 18062021 (June 18th, 2021).

Ocean Sharma

In a tweet on June 6th, popular esports caster Ocean Sharma asked his followers about the difference between the smallest emrip and its prime. An emirp is a prime number that produces a different prime number when the digits are reversed.

The smallest emirp is 13, and its prime is 31. Since the difference equates to 18, Indian mobile gamers are convinced that Battlegrounds Mobile India will be released on June 18th.

Ultron

When asked about the release date of Battlegrounds Mobile India in a recent stream, PUBG Mobile pro Ultron said:

“As far as I know, Battlegrounds Mobile India might be released on the 16th or 18th.”
