BGMI Air Krafton pre-registrations cross 10 million in India; Check how to register, launch date and open beta details

Krafton India has renamed its upcoming mobile battle royale game BGMI Lite to BGMI Air, as the title surpasses 10 million pre-registrations on Google Play ahead of its India launch. The rebranding comes as the developer prepares to bring the Battlegrounds Mobile India experience to a wider audience with a smaller game download designed to reach more smartphone users.

BGMI Air Crosses 10 Million Pre-Registrations

Krafton India has confirmed that BGMI Air has received more than 10 million pre-registrations in India. The registration process for Android users began on August 25 through the Google Play Store, when the game was still known as BGMI Lite.

The milestone indicates strong interest in the upcoming title ahead of its official release. However, Krafton has not yet revealed an exact launch date for BGMI Air.

BGMI Air India Launch Date And Open Beta Details

BGMI Air is expected to launch in India later in 2026, although the company has not confirmed the timeline. An open beta is also anticipated before the full release, allowing players to experience the game and share feedback with the developer.

BGMI Air will operate as a separate application from the existing BGMI game. Players will not need to transfer their accounts or move their existing BGMI profiles to access the new title. Both games will be available as separate apps, allowing users to continue playing BGMI while trying BGMI Air.

How To Pre-Register For BGMI Air On Google Play Store

Android users in India can pre-register for BGMI Air through the Google Play Store by following these steps:

• Open the Google Play Store on an Android smartphone.
• Search for BGMI Air in the search bar.
• Select the game's listing from the search results.
• Tap the Pre-register button.
• Confirm the registration when prompted to receive a notification once the game becomes available.

BGMI Air Rebranding: What It Means For Players

The name change from BGMI Lite to BGMI Air marks another step in Krafton's plans to expand its mobile gaming offering in India. The game is intended to provide a more accessible version of the Battlegrounds Mobile India experience through a smaller download.

With pre-registrations crossing 10 million, BGMI Air has generated considerable interest ahead of launch. The expected open beta may offer players an early look at its performance, gameplay and compatibility across different smartphones before the full release.
