Expected release date and time for BGMI's new 2.1 July update

The upcoming 2.1 update will be the fourth major in-game update of 2022. The update will celebrate the game's first anniversary and mark the return of the crowd-favorite Ancient Secret mode.

On the last few occasions, a new update in Battlegrounds Mobile India appeared on the day that PUBG Mobile finished rolling out the update. However, this time around, users did not receive an announcement from Krafton regarding the release on 13 July (when PUBG Mobile finished rolling out the update globally).

As a result, the update is expected to appear today (14 July) or tomorrow (15 July). Here's a look at the estimated release time based on the previous updates.

• Android: The July update is expected to be released on the Google Play Store between 12.30 pm and 8.30 pm IST.
• iOS: The 2.1 update is expected to roll out at 4.00 pm on the Apple Store.

Despite the fact that the update will be released earlier, the new season (Cycle 3 Season 7) and Royale Pass (M13) will only be integrated into the upcoming update on 19 July.
