From PUBG Mobile Lite to BGMI Lite: India's Gaming Timeline
In India, PUBG Mobile Lite and PUBG Mobile were affected by the 2020 government order, and PUBG Mobile Lite service in India was officially terminated on October 30, 2020. The PUBG Mobile intellectual-property rights were subsequently returned to their owner. KRAFTON later introduced Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) as its India-focused battle royale game. In 2026, KRAFTON announced BGMI Lite, creating a new chapter for players who are interested in a lighter version of the BGMI experience. Android pre-registration is scheduled to begin on August 25, 2026, while the full launch is planned for later in 2026.
