One of the most often discussed subjects in the Indian mobile gaming community is the introduction of BGMI Lite, a simplified version of the BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India).

The release is awaited by millions of PUBG Mobile Lite fans across the nation who were heartbroken when their beloved game was banned over a year back.

However, there has been a great deal of dissatisfaction in the game’s community because the developers have not provided any official confirmation regarding the streamlined variant.

In a new development, a poll was conducted on BGMI’s official Discord server, asking the fans why they desired the light version of the game.

Apart from Ghatak, Maxtern has also commented on the release of the game. In his Tweets, he quoted:
