The demand for a lighter version of BGMI arises because many Indian gamers possess low-end Android devices. The Google Play Store page states that the battle royale title is compatible with a 1.5 GB RAM device.

PUBG Mobile Lite fans have taken to Twitter to request Krafton for the release of BGMI Lite. They have also asked the developers to ban the hackers before releasing PUBG New State.


Will BGMI Lite be released in India?

The release of BGMI Lite seems unlikely as there is no regional version of PUBG Mobile Lite. There is only one global version of PUBG Mobile’s lighter mode. Moreover, the developers have encouraged players to enjoy BGMI without further information regarding a lighter version.

Another successful BGMI player, Sagar “Maxtern” Thakur, took to Twitter to express that BGMI Lite will be released soon. His tweet has received 1.5K likes and over 150 retweets.
