BGMI Lite: What to expect
While Krafton has not confirmed the features of BGMI Lite, PUBG Mobile Light likely offers some clues.
PUBG Mobile says its Light version is designed to provide a lighter way to play without removing the key battle royale experience. Its initial download will be around 1GB on Android and under 2GB on iOS.
The PUBG Mobile Lite version will retain the classic Erangel map, supplies and core combat. Players will also be able to use their existing PUBG Mobile account, carry over owned items and play with friends using the main game.
It is possible that BGMI Lite could follow a similar approach. A smaller initial download and lower device requirements to make the game easier to run on budget smartphones. Do note that Krafton has not confirmed these features for BGMI Lite yet.
