BGMI receives new game maintenance and small update today (19th December)

On Monday, 19 December, Krafton pushed a new server maintenance break for BGMI as most users encountered a new in-game message pop-up. It is the second one in two weeks, as the developers scheduled the previous one on 5 December 2022.

The official message from the developers/publishers that users can see via the in-game broadcasts reads as follows:

"While we continue to making the game experience more safe, secure and action packed! There will be a server maintenance ongoing today, which may cause inconvenience. Expected impact is from 11:30 - 11:35 IST. We apologize for the same. Keep gaming responsibly!"

However, unlike the previous one, the latest server maintenance brought a minor update for most users. Although the game hasn't received the new version, the development is still a big positive for Battlegrounds Mobile India. The game hasn't received any updates for more than four months since it was blocked.
