Battlegrounds Mobile India or BGMI has been a great success in India. The title launched back in June 2021 for Android and the company had stated that it was working on an iOS port as well. And now, the popular battle royal game is finally available in the Apple App Store.
For those unaware, BGMI only launched in India for Android smartphones. While the company did state that a version for Apple iOS was in the works, it had offered no set date for its launch. Recently, we had even reported on certain teasers, but it was speculated that the iOS port was a while away. But it seems Krafton Inc wasted no time in bringing the popular mobile game to iPhones, which is also one of the most preferred platforms for the title.
For those unaware, many professional esports athletes and players across the globe played PUBG Mobile on iOS devices. So, BGMI’s launch on the App Store was highly anticipated in India. It is currently available on the iOS platform for iPhones that run iOS 11.0 or later. The game has a total size of about 1.9GB and, similar to the Android version, will also offer players the option to download resource packs and other updates following the installation.
Although, Krafton did state that iOS users might not be able to login immediately due to ongoing maintenance but this is scheduled to end by 9:40pm IST later today (18th August 2021). Recently, BGMI achieved a notable feat with the game registering over 50 million downloads on Google Play Store alone. So the studio offered all players with a permanent Galaxy Messenger set in game.
