Indian fans can expect similar features in the BGMI 2.0 patch update as Krafton unveiled the patch notes prior to the actual release. As per the expectations and the precedent set by previous versions, the majority of the features in the PUBG Mobile 2.0 patch will be mirrored in Battlegrounds Mobile India's May update.

As already mentioned, Battlegrounds Mobile India's update includes almost all the features of PUBG Mobile. Since BGMI is a variant of PUBG, their in-game content is similar, and their file size is also comparable. Thus, the same reflects in the download size of the updates for both games.

If players consider the previous updates of both BGMI and PUBG Mobile, they will notice that the file sizes aren't very different. Hence, Krafton will likely follow suit with Battlegrounds Mobile India 2.0 update's file size, and one can expect it to be in the range of 700-800 MB (PUBG Mobile's Android update was around 785 MB).
