BGMI 2.2 update: Will it be released?

Battle royale titles like BGMI have provided a huge boost to the content creation and esports scene in the gaming community in India. However, the fan-favorite title was recently removed from the Google Play Store and App Store in the country, leaving all fans in deep shock. Since the title is based on its global version, all the major updates get released for both titles within a gap of one or two days.

PUBG Mobile already received the exciting 2.2 update on 13. September. With no major announcement regarding the 2.2 update for Battlegrounds Mobile India, players are raising various queries related to the update and the game's comeback in the region.

Will BGMI receive the 2.2 update?

Officials have not released any major announcements related to the game's unban status in the country. In the most recent official post from Krafton, they stated that their officials were in talks with the concerned agencies and requested that players remain patient.

Many YouTubers and other personalities involved in the gaming community have shared their thoughts on the title's comeback. In one of his videos, YouTuber Lucky Man hinted that players might see an extension to the ongoing season cycle, with a high chance of it having its end date shifted to next month.

Players can also visit the crate section and observe that the end date for major crates like premium and classic has been shifted to 80+ days. The CEO and founder of War Mania, Hrishav Bhattacharjee, shared amazing news related to the game's return.
