The number of players in a lobby varies as BGMI features 100 players landing on an island, whereas PUBG Mobile Lite sees 60 gamers doing so.

Krafton has removed situations that might lead to violence and aggression among players in Battlegrounds Mobile India. As a result, they have removed the term "Kill." Instead, when an opponent is defeated, it will be referred to as "finishes."

However, PUBG Mobile Lite follows the path of its original variant and displays "killed" and "knocked out" when players down an enemy.


4) Size

The game size after installation is perhaps the most significant difference between the two titles. Although Battlegrounds Mobile India has a lightweight installation feature, players have to download various Resource Packs after installing.

As a result, the total game size of BGMI after proper installation is somewhere around 3 to 3.2 GB.
