Gyroscopes play a seminal role in any multiplayer action game. Hence, the developers of both Apex Legends Mobile and Battlegrounds Mobile India have incorporated the feature into their games.

Players can easily switch between the two games due to the presence of a gyroscope feature which is otherwise absent in games like Free Fire and Free Fire Max.


Listing the major differences between BGMI and Apex Legends Mobile

1) Type of Characters

Battlegrounds Mobile India offers its players several special characters to choose from - Victor, Sara, Andy, Carlo, and Anna. Furthermore, various themed characters are also available in the game.

However, none of these characters influence the Battle Royale mode, which is one of the main differences compared to Apex Legends Mobile. The latter has various characters - Wraith, Bloodhound, Fade, Caustic, Octane, Bangalore, Pathfinder, and more. All these characters have their own special abilities and can change the course of any match with them.


2) Maps and modes

While Battlegrounds Mobile India has six classic mode maps - Erangel, Miramar, Sanhok, Vikendi, Karakin, and Livik, Apex Legends Mobile players can only play the World's Edge map in Ranked and Battle Royale mode.

The difference between the two BR titles can also be seen in the case of available modes. While Battlegrounds Mobile India has a dedicated Arcade, Sniper Training, and Evoground mode, Apex Legends Mobile only has a TDM and a Multiplayer mode to go along with the Ranked mode.


3) Squad size

One significant difference between the two games is the squad size. BGMI has seen a considerable rise in popularity due to its peak in esports, which has, in turn, been popularized due to the squad size of four players.

However, Apex Legends Mobile only allows three players (all with different characters) to play in a squad.
