BGMI 4.1 update rollout has started

The BGMI 4.1 update has begun rolling out for players in India, bringing a new winter-style theme, an updated Royale Pass, gameplay changes, and a fresh set of events. The update is being released in phases, so some users may receive it earlier than others. Once installed, the game downloads in-game resource packs before unlocking new features.

How to download the BGMI 4.1 update
Players on Android can head to the Google Play Store, search for Battlegrounds Mobile India, and tap the update button once version 4.1 becomes available for their device. The rollout typically reaches all Android users within a few hours, depending on server load. iOS users can open the App Store, visit the BGMI page, and install the update from there. If the update does not appear immediately, restarting the device or refreshing the app page usually helps. After updating, the game requires additional in-game downloads such as maps and graphic resources before players can access the new features.

New features in the BGMI 4.1 update
The highlight of the update is a winter-themed mode that introduces snowy landscapes, decorated structures, and interactive elements designed around the season. A new location, referred to as Penguin Town, offers high-tier loot and encourages early-game combat. The update also brings a new set of gadgets designed for tactical use during matches, including items that alter mobility and provide temporary advantages.

The A16 Royale Pass arrives with new weapons skins, character outfits, emotes, and progression rewards. As with previous seasons, players can earn rewards through regular missions or purchase higher tiers for faster progression. Gameplay improvements include smoother controls, updated weapon balance, enhanced loot mechanics, and better performance across a range of devices. Matchmaking has also been refined to reduce wait times.

The update includes several limited-time events tied to the winter theme, offering crates, vouchers, and seasonal items. Players are encouraged to explore the new areas, test the gadgets, and complete missions to gain additional rewards. With these additions, version 4.1 aims to refresh the experience for returning and regular players alike.
