With the release of BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) in India, Krafton had re-released the popular mobile port from its PUBG franchise. Now, a new official poll has hinted at the developers possibly working on a “Lite” version of popular battle royale title.
The poll was shared on the official Discord channel of the mobile game. It suggests that the developers might be working on a new Lite version of Battlegrounds Mobile India. For those unaware, before PUBG Mobile was banned in India, PUBG Mobile Lite had also been released globally. This version of the game was specifically built for entry level affordable smartphones that did not meet the minimum hardware requirements to run PUBG Mobile. The Lite variant could even run on devices with or under 2GB of RAM and even featured lower graphics.
With BGMI being popular in India and entry level budget devices still being one of the most popular segments in the region, it won’t arrive as a surprise if Krafton actually does release Lite version. Unfortunately, there is still no official announcement regarding this variant or any details as to when it might possibly launch. Looking at the poll, we find a list of reasons why they believe Indian players might wants BGMI Lite, this includes:
- I can’t play BGMI on my low end device.
- I can play BGMI, but I’ll have better frame rates and performance in Lite version on my device.
- I spent money in Lite version and want to transfer my data/inventory
- I like the maps and Skins in Lite version.
According to a SportsKeeda report, a local esports athlete named Abhijeet “Ghatak” stated that the company is actually working on the Lite version of Battlegrounds Mobile India, which could launch sometime by the end of next month. If it does launch, it would likely feature lower requirements and even have a smaller download size as well. Keep in mind that this has yet to be confirmed as of right now, so take it with a pinch of salt. Oddly, we had reported earlier this year that a Lite version might not be a thing due to the game already being stripped down PUBG Mobile and supporting two regionally locked games might have them compete against one another. But, the company might have other plans.
