Android users in India will be able to pre-register for BGMI Lite through the Google Play Store starting today. The game itself is expected to launch in India by the end of this year, although there is no confirmed release date yet.
The initial download size is expected to be around 1GB, which is smaller when compared to the standard BGMI app. This could make BGMI Lite a more practical option for people using phones with limited storage.
Now, if you already play BGMI, there is some good news here as well. Krafton India has said that existing players will not need to transfer their accounts before playing BGMI Lite. This means you do not have to start from scratch just because you are moving to the lighter version. However, the company has also not shared every detail about how existing items or progress will work in the Lite version.
As for iPhone users, they will have to wait a little longer as Krafton India has not yet revealed when pre-registration will be available for iOS users.
Now, coming to the big question. How exactly can you pre-register for the game. Simply open the Google Play Store app and search for BGMI Lite. And well, that’s it. Click on the pre-registration button and follow the instructions that you get. Do remember to select the official listing of the game and check the publisher details before tapping on the button.
You may also get an option to enable automatic installation. If you turn it on, Google Play can install the game automatically once BGMI Lite officially launches, provided your phone has enough storage. However, if you prefer to install it yourself, you can leave the option disabled and download the game later.
PS: There is no need to download an APK or use a third-party website to register. In fact, it is better to avoid such links. Fake BGMI Lite download pages can appear when a popular game is about to launch, and some may ask users to install unofficial files or provide personal information. The safest option is to wait for the official Google Play listing.
Coming to what you can expect from the upcoming game, the main intent here is to make the game accessible to players who are using older or less powerful smartphones. We all know that the standard version of the game can be quite demanding, especially if you want higher frame rates and prefer playing at highest possible graphics settings. So, for such players, having a lighter version would be no less than a boon.
The smaller download size also suggests that BGMI Lite could use lower-resolution graphical assets and other optimisations to make the game easier to run on entry-level hardware.
Now, do remember that Krafton India has not yet revealed the system requirements or even the detailed gameplay changes. So, it is best to take this information with a pinch of salt.
